[Intro] E A F#m B x2 [Verse 1]
       E               A               F#m               B
In the holding tank I built for myself, it's feeding time

      E              A                    F#m                B
And I start to feel afraid 'cause I'm the last one left in line

    F#m               E                   D            A
The endless string of summer storms that led me to today

  E                                A      B      E
Began one afternoon with you long ago and far away
[Chorus]
    C#m      E         B               A
And someone leads the beast in on his chain

      E                                       B             A
And I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain

      E                  A       B        E
So I won't be afraid of anything ever again
[Interlude] E A F#m B x2 [Verse 2]
       E                       A   F#m                 B
In the cell that holds my body back, the door swings wide

      E                    A                F#m                  B
And I feel like someone's lost child as the guards lead me outside

    F#m               E               D                   A
And if the clouds are gathering, it's just to point the way

      E                         A          B          E
To an afternoon I spent with you when it rained all day
[Chorus]
    C#m      E         B               A
And someone leads the beast in on his chain

      E                                       B             A
And I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain

      E                  A       B        E
So I won't be afraid of anything ever again
[Outro] E A F#m B x3 E
