intro: 2 x main riff
2 x main riff (drums, 2nd guitar & violin enter)
verse 1 - 1st part: 3 x main riff
I started out in search of ordinary things
How much of a tree bends in the wind
I started telling the story without knowing the end
1 x main riff - variation
1 x Main riff
verse 1 - 2nd part: 2 x main riff
I used to be darker, then I got lighter, then I got dark again
Something to be seen was passing over and over me
1 x bridge riff
bridge 1: 4 x bridge riff
Well it seemed like the routine case at first
With the death of the shadow came a lightness of verse
But the darkest of nights, in truth, still dazzles
And I wore myself until I'm frazzled
2 x main riff
verse 2: 4 x main riff
I ended up in search of ordinary things
Like how can a wave possibly be?
I started running, and the concrete turned to sand
I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned
1 x bridge riff
bridge 2: 4 x bridge riff
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
1 x bridge riff - variation
Done me in
1 1/2 x bridge riff
end on D
