[Intro] Cmaj7 [Verse 1]
           Cmaj7
Well, the anchor has been tested
I guess we’ll stay put for awhile
           F
I put the fire where it wanted

            Fm
Watched the water become dry

     Em
Once more, I was lost in thoughts that were not mine

        G                   G7
When I looked up, they were lost upon the tide

     Cmaj7
And now I’m just an island in these systems of silence

     F                            Fm
And as I drift around, I’m still bound to find the frowns

        Em                 Am             Em        G     G7
On the faces of my friends,    until the metronome ends.....
[Chorus]
F                 Em
  These windblown eyes

Dm                    C
  Finding it hard to see

F                      Em
  There’s no straight lines

Dm                  C
  Out on this open sea

F              Em
  No way back home

Dm               C
  Only places to be

F                  Em
  It’s a wondrous world

Dm                          C
  But it’s got the best of me
[Post-Chorus]
                 F    Em   Dm    C
Got the best of,   oh-oh, oh-oh..

                 F    Em    Dm  Cmaj7
Got the best of,   oh-oh, oh-oh......
[Break] Cmaj7 [Verse 2]
    Cmaj7
As if it was a given, I let the rhythm ease my mind

              F                                     Fm
I pulled the cold out of the dark and I poured the darkness on the light

             Em
But I wanted more
Don’t we all dissolve into the night
         G
Only to wake up

          G7
In the morning untied?

    Cmaj7
And all the blessed pieces
Well, they have been dust now for some time
         F
And the rest, it carries on

     Fm
All imperfect and just fine

               Em
Another season gone

               Am
Do I belong to them, or they to me?

          Em
Do the reflections

              Am
Belong to the stars or to the sea?

          Em
How do I let go

          G                 G7
Of yesterday and yet to be?..
[Chorus]
F                 Em
  These windblown eyes

Dm                    C
  Finding it hard to see

F                      Em
  There’s no straight lines

Dm                  C
  Out on this open sea

F              Em
  No way back home

Dm               C
  Only places to be

F                  Em
  It’s a wondrous world

Dm                          C
  But it’s got the best of me
[Outro]
            Cmaj7
Well, the anchor has been lifted
I won’t be back here for a while
           F
I put his ashes where he wanted

      Fm
And I kept some by my side
