===============================================================================
** NOTES **
Dan is notorious for throwing in small flourishes and making slight variations
to recurring sections. Instead of trying to roadmap everything with a jumble
of notes, here's the entire song as-is.
Everything is played in straight 16th notes. Just follow along.
Lyrics below.
Enjoy!

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I needed more wine, you needed more sleep.
We just fought two hours and seven minutes.
Honestly, I'm surprised we made it.
I retired to my chair, I grabbed my new guitar,
But I can't make a sound.
You could hear poisonous pins dropping all around like rain.
But I can ride this storm out,
Because I'm like a junkie for your smart mouth.
[Chorus 1]
See, I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining, and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore some day.
So, are you coming with me?
Anchors away!
[Verse 2]
I loosen my lips, and the truth slips out.
A free ride on a forked tongue,
This twine of trust is unspun.
I could start to believe that's what you need from me,
So far from what I want for you,
But I'll lock it down, and we'll make do.
You're right, there's only one real option,
And I'm here now, so help me keep my voice down.
[Chorus 2]
See, I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining, and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore some day.
So, are you coming with me?
Anchors away!
[Chorus 3]
Yeah, I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining, and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore some day.
So, are you coming with me?
Anchors away!
