[Verse 1]
             G                         Bm
I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes

    G                                 C
And since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one

        Am                    D7
Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love

       Am                             C         G
You left another message said it's done, It's done
[Verse 2]
            G                            Bm
When I hear beautiful music it's always from another time

        G                     C
Old friends I never visit, I remember what they're like

Am                              D7
Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies

 Am                                C                 G
Waiting to be asked to come inside  Just come inside
[Chorus]
            Am            D7
But I keep go-o-o-o-oing out

            Bm                            Am
I can't sleep next to a stranger when I'm coming down

        B7                          C              G
It's 8 a.m. my heart is beating too loud,  Too loud

      D7           Am           B7                   C
Don't be-e-e-e so ama-a-a-azing or I'll miss you too much

   B7                                    C  G
I felt something that I had never touched
[Verse 3]
G                                Bm
Everything gets smaller now the further that I go

             G                           C
Towards the mouth and the reunion of the Known and the Unknown

      Am                       D7
Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home

             Am                                 C                  G
You can move mountains with your misery if you don't, If you don't
[Verse 4]
    G                              Bm
It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two

            G                                   C
Under the leaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit

           Am                               D7
Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth

            Am                         C    G
There will never be a time more opportune
[Chorus]
          Am        D7
So I just won't be late

           Bm                            Am
The window closes, shock rolls over in a tidal wave

      B7                                C    G
And all the color drains out of the frame

   D7             Am      B7                         C
So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good

       B7                                  C
I took off my shoes and walked into the woods

       B7                               C    G
I felt lost and found with every step I took
