Fmaj7     C
Were that the song I'm singing
       Fmaj7  C
Was an ocean wide
        Fmaj7      Am
Let the word I'm breathing
          G           D
Reach us over to the other side
             Fmaj7    C
You chart a burning vessel
         Fmaj7        C
Out on a pitch black wave
            Fmaj7      Am
Chewing the bone and gristle
                G       D
When it's the flesh of love you crave

[Verse 2]
       Fmaj7        C
When a lie starts dancing
           Fmaj7     C
Oh boy, it sure can run
   Fmaj7           Am
Halfway around the world
             G                 D
Before the truth can get its trousers on
          Fmaj7      C
And in a nightclub mirror
              Fmaj7    C
We caught the merest glimpse
          Fmaj7   Am
Of my pre-human spirit
               G            D
Frozen like a deer in the headlamps
        Fmaj7       C
Till it just don't matter
          Fmaj7      C
Till we're far from care
      Fmaj7     Am
When illusion shatters
              G       D
You see the carnage everywhere
Fmaj7  C
Every-where
Fmaj7  C
Every-where

[Verse 3]
              Fmaj7       C
To where they taste like metal
            Fmaj7  C
Through the fog of war
         Fmaj7       Am
Too many hurts like nettles
        G        D
Growing up around my door
         Fmaj7       C
Then they cut that stairway
              Fmaj7     C
Yeah, with my own bare hands
        Fmaj7       Am
To that high rock plateau
         G         D
Make my home inside the winds
Fmaj7       C
Inside the winds
Fmaj7       C
Inside the winds
           Fmaj7          C
Up to that high rocking plateau
         G
Make my home inside the winds
