Verse 1 Chords: [play with Intro Riff]
C#m                     E                      Asus2
    With every sun that sets I am feeling more
                       E      B5
Like a stranger on a foreign shore
C#m                 E                       Asus2    E  B5  
    With an eroding beach disappearing from under me


Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords and Intro Riff)
And when my mirror speaks it never minces words
That these eyes don't shine half as bright
As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while

Chorus Chords:
             A                  E
'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds
      A              E    B5
In a mess of fading lines
              A              E
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
     G#m               C#m   B5
With nothing on either end


Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords and Intro Riff)
I always fall in love with an open door
Or the horizon on an endless sea
As I look around the ones who are standing right in front of me

Verse 4: (use verse 1 chords and Intro Riff)
And then my mirror speaks with irreverence
Like a soldier I can't command
It sees the frightened child in the body of a full-grown man

Chorus Chords:
And he's a man who hides from all that binds
In a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end
There's nothing on either end


Solo:

Bridge:
 B5
A new position for a different view
 B5
But nothing changes but the slightest hues
 B5
When I am standing face to face


Chorus Chords: x2 (first time soft, second time loud)
With a man who hides from all that binds
And a mess of fading lines
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
With nothing on either end
