Verse
G D
I keep floatin' down the river, but the ocean never comes
G Am (Am7)
And since the operation, I heard you're breathing just for once
Em7 F#/G
Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love
Em7 Dsus2 Dsus* * G|-0h2-0------|
You left another message, said "it's done", it's done D|------0h2-0-|
G G/A
G D
When I hear beautiful music, it's always from another time,
G Am (Am7)
Old friends I never visit, well, I remember what they're like
Em7 F#/G
Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies,
Em7 Dsus2 Dsus*
Waiting to be asked to come inside, just come inside
G
Chorus
Bm D
But I keep Go-oh-oh Go-oh-oh-in' out
G F#/G Em7
And I can sleep next to a stranger when I'm comming down
Bm Am G
It's 8A.M. my heart's beating too loud, too loud
Bm Am Em7 Am
Don't be so amazing, or I'll miss you too much
Em7 Dsus2 Dsus*
I felt something that I have never touched
(I may be wrong, this part is tough to hear under the strings)
G

G D
Everything gets smaller now the further that I go
G Am (Am7)
Towards the mouth and the reunion of the known and the unknown
Em7 F#/G
Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home
Em7 Dsus2 Dsus*
You can move mountains with your misery if you don't, if you don't
G D
It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two
G Am (Am7)
Under the eaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit
Em7 F#/G
Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth
Em7 Dsus2 Dsus*
There will never be a time more opportune
Bm D
So I just won't be late
G F#/G Em7
The window closes, shocks roll over in a tidal wave
Bm Am G
And all the color drains out of the frame
Bm D
So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good
G F#/G Em7
I took off my shoes and walked into the woods
Em7 Dsus2 Dsus* G
I felt lost and found with every step I took
