Intro: C#m E A E x2 /////////////////////////////////////////////////// Verse 1:
C#m A E With every sun that sets I am feeling more
A E B Like a stranger on a foreign shore
C#m A B A E With an eroding beach disappearing from under me
C#m A E And when my mirror speaks it never minces words
A E B That these eyes don't shine half as bright
C#m A E A E As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while ////////////////////////////////////////////////// Chorus:
A E 'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds
A E In a mess of fading lines
A E And there's a tangled thread inside my head
G#m A With nothing on either end ////////////////////////////////////////////////// Verse 2:
C#m A E I always fall in love with an open door
A E B Or the horizon on an endless sea
C#m A E A E As I look around the ones who are standing right in front of me
