[Verse]
D G Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place Bm Dreamed to discover a new space G And buried himself alive D G Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face meant Bm He's working away on displacement G And what it would take to survive
[Chorus]
Em Bm A Cause when you're done with this world Em Bm A You know the next is up to you D G A And his wife told his kids he was crazy D G A And his friends said he'd fail if he tried D G But with a will to work hard Bm Em And a library card G A D He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
[Verse]
D G That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it Bm Waves as big as he'd seen it G Deep in his dreams at home D From dry land G He rolled it over to wet sand Bm Closed the hatch up with one hand G And pedaled off alone
[Chorus]
Em Bm A 'Cause when you're done with this world Em Bm A You know the next is up to you D G A And for once in his life it was quiet D G A As he learned how to turn in the tide D G And the sky was a flare Bm Em When he came up for air G A D In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride

[Verse]
D One evening G When weeks had passed since his leaving Bm The call she'd planned on receiving G Finally made it home D She accepted G The news she'd never expected Bm The operator connected G A call from Tokyo
[Chorus]
Em Bm A 'Cause when you're done with this world Em Bm A You know the next is up to you D Now his friends G A Bring him up when they're drinking D G A At the bar with his name on the side D G And they smile when they can Bm Em As they speak of a man G A D Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
