[Intro] D G Bm G D G Bm G D G Bm G D G Bm G [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
[Instrumental] D D D D Em Bm A Em Bm A D G A D G A D G Bm Em G A D [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
