C                G
I take flight on borrowed time

  Am            Em
I was once terrified of heights

  Am             Em
I say a prayer I look down

                G
and I'm ready to die
[Verse 2]
C             G
If you cross over tonight

    Am             Em
You see beyond the darkest

        Am
sky You taste the blood as

Em                G
something wild and alive
[Chorus 1]
          D             G
You might light up in a flash

               C      Am
You won’t hold onto a flame

        F             G
It's a squalid way to live

             C            Am
but it's the rules of the game

         F
It ain’t your fault

            Fm
It's just a shame

Am        G       C  G Am Em Am Em G
  To fall without aim
[Verse 3]
C                G
I walk down east seventh street

  Am             Em
A wistful wild depravity

 Am          Em
Iconoclastic black and

               G
white dusty and sweet
[Verse 4]
  C               G
I tell this story every time

     Am                Em
Real love don't follow a

                 Am
straight line It breaks your

        Em                   G
neck it builds you a delicate shrine
[Chorus 2]
          F                  G
You might mourn all that you wasted

            C           Am
That's just part of the haul

         F                G
Tangling up all your good fortune

            C            Am
bearing the heart of the fall

          F              Fm
You won't break it after all
[Bridge]
        C          G
Look at us man and bride

          D
And a grinding sound

         C    G         D
Faithful to a life underground

             C       G
And when the picture fades

               D
the years will make us calm

            C            G   D
I'll sing a song at your funeral

        C         G     D
Laid in the Mississippi gulf

             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
[Outro] C G D x4
