From the album "Asphalt Meadows" (2022) Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/23od4rorIdhvYeLL7YqP9n?si=2dbd467e88e24159 [Intro] | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | [Verse 1]
Dmaj7sus2                                A    Asus2
 There was a man who used to live by the ocean

Dmaj7sus2                     A    Asus2
 But he never set foot in the sea

Dmaj7sus2                                         A     Asus2
 It made him nervous that the water was always in motion

Dmaj7sus2                                    A    Asus2
 And he feared the creatures who swam beneath

Dmaj7sus2                               A    Asus2
 And when I asked him how he'd ended up there

Dmaj7sus2                         A    Asus2
 Above a world he would never know

Dmaj7sus2                                      A    Asus2
 He said he'd driven all the way across America

Dmaj7sus2                                              A
 And when he got to thе edge therе was nowhere left to go
[Chorus 1]
Asus2           Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Nowhere left to go

Asus2           Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Nowhere left to go

Asus2           Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Nowhere left to go

Asus2           Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A    Asus2
Nowhere left to go
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7sus2                                  A                      Asus2
 He said that nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains

Dmaj7sus2                              A    Asus2
 As he quoted Black Kettle's death song

Dmaj7sus2                                 A     Asus2
 The words drifting off into the emptiness

Dmaj7sus2                                     A     Asus2
 Of this great land where we’ve never belonged

Dmaj7sus2                                  A     Asus2
 And while the frontiers are ever-expanding

Dmaj7sus2                           A     Asus2
 Our living rooms fall into disarray

Dmaj7sus2                                           A     Asus2
 And no one seems interested in fixing what they've broken

Dmaj7sus2                                             A
 They just sweep the pieces into the bushes and slip away
[Chorus 2]
 Asus2       Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Slowly slip away

 Asus2       Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Slowly slip away

 Asus2       Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Slowly slip away

 Asus2       Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A    Asus2
Slowly slip away
[Instrumental] | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | | Dmaj7sus2 | Dmaj7sus2 | A | Asus2 | [Verse 3]
Dmaj7sus2                                             A       Asus2
 And now he and I watch the foxglove grow through the clearcut

Dmaj7sus2                          A     Asus2
 Where a forest once grew high and wild

Dmaj7sus2                             A     Asus2
 For what is a funeral without flowers

Dmaj7sus2                                      A
 And ten thousand tombstones reaching for the sky
[Chorus 3]
Asus2             Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Reaching for the sky

Asus2             Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Reaching for the sky

Asus2             Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A
Reaching for the sky

Asus2             Dmaj7sus2    Dmaj7sus2    A    Asus2
Reaching for the sky
