C                G
I take flight on borrowed time

  Am            Em
I was once terrified of heights

  Am             Em               G
I say a prayer, I look down and I'm ready to die

C        G
If you cross over tonight

    Am             Em
You see beyond the darkest sky

    Am           Em                   G
You taste the blood as something wild and alive

        F          G
You might light up in a flash

            C      Am
You won't hold onto a flame

    F         G              C        Am
It's a squalid way to live but it's the rules of the game

      F              G
It ain't your fault it's just a shame

  Dm  G    C
To fall without aim
G Am Em Am Em G
 C                G
I walk down east seventh street

  Am            Em
A wistful, wild de-pravity

 Am          Em                   G
Iconoclastic, black and white, dusty and   sweet

  C               G
I tell this story every time

     Am             Em
Real love don't follow a straight line

   Am             Em          G
It breaks your neck, it builds you a delicate   shrine

           F                  G
You might mourn all that you wasted

            C           Am
That's just part of the haul

         F                G         Em       Am
Tangling up all your good fortune, bearing the heart of the fall

       F         G
You won't break it after all

         C           G
Look at us, man and bride

          D
And a grinding sound

         C         G    D
Faithful to a life underground

             C       G                    D
And when the picture fades the years will make us calm

            C            G      D
I'll sing a song at your fune - ral

        C        G         D
Laid in the Mississippi gu - lf

             C      G         D
Or back home at Waxahatchee creek

         C         G         D
You know you got a friend in me

       C         G           D
I'm an angler married to the sea
C G D C G D
