[Verse]
G#m
On the banks of the deep end

F#                          C#m
Where your soul is your best friend

G#m
Searching for a reason

  B         F#
To go astray

G#m
Wild dreams turn to nightmares

F#                        C#m
Silver clouds turn to golden stairs

G#m
And everything that you used to know

  B           F#
Is slipping away
G#m B F# G#m B F#
G#m
Here i've got my puzzle-piece

F#                      C#m
Only got it for a short term lease

G#m
No time for asking

  B                   F#
No going back to get hurt

G#m
I take a little from the mixture

F#                 C#m
Try to fit it into the picture

G#m
Got a place where you're standing

  B                    F#
Dig your shoes into the dirt
[Chorus]
E                  B
Trying hard to get back

        F#
Runnin' on the stones

E                  B 
Put you on my shoulders

              Eb7
We can be the only one

E                               B
See the world's still spinning 'round

        F#            G   G#m
Gettin' dizzy when we look
G#m B F# G#m B F# [Verse]
G#m
There's a reason to be home

F#                        C#m
There's a feeling when you smile

G#m
But it feels like it might take over

B            F#
This feeling deep inside

G#m
And there's a distance down the line

F#                  C#m
Far away from the station

G#m
We can leave it all behind

B             F#
On a rolling creation
[Chorus]
E                  B
Sit away from the window

          F#
And lock the door

E                         B
Can't you learn from the last time

         Eb7
And the time before

E                               B
See the world's still spinning 'round

        F#            G   G#m
Gettin' dizzy when we look
G#m B F# G#m B F#
E            A
Got to leave town

   C#m            B
To see the yellow flowers bloom

Bm         A
Sun going down

           C#m          Eb7
It's gonna be, gonna be rising soon

G#m
On the banks of the deep end

F#             C#m
Twisted as a riverbend

G#m
Searching for a reason

  B         F#
To go astray

[Verse]
G#m
You couldn't hire twenty-five men

F#             C#m
To do what the man could do

G#m
Just the sound of his walking

B                          F#
Could split the whole damn town in two

G#m
Into the night full of shadows

F#                      C#m
He still walks when the thunder rolls

G#m
This river ain't shallow

B                   F#
Reminds us that the bell still tolls
[Chorus]
E               B
Bears in the kitchen

       F#
Tigers on tv

E                  B
The singer's pretending

          Eb7
That this song's for me

E                              B
See the world's still spinning 'round

        F#            G   G#m
Gettin' dizzy when we look
G#m B F# G#m B F# [Verse]
G#m
You took a wrong turn down by the waterline

F#                           C#m
I heard they had to drag you off the sand

G#m
Find a dune and the wind will miss you

B                          F#
Hold on to a piece of dry land

G#m
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land

G#m
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
G#m B F# G#m B F# G#m B F# G#m B F#
G#m
On the banks of the deep end

F#              C#m
Where i lost my best friend

G#m
Searching for a reason to

B      F#
go astray
G#m
