[Intro]
G                                   C
I tried going against my own soul's warning
           G    Em                        D
But in the end, something just didn't feel right
     C                D                   Em           C
Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming
      G
I just wanted to get back to where you are
                                  Notes are B & A here

[Verse 1]
            D                             C
If you could see through the banner of the sun
                C                            Bm
Into eternity's eyes, like a vision reaching down to you
                 D
Would you turn away?
                            C
What if it knew you by your name?
                C                                        Bm                D
What kind of words would cut through the clutter of the whirlwind of these days?


[Pre-Chorus]
G                                  C
I tried going against my own soul's warning
           G    Em                        D
And in the end, something just didn't feel right
    C                     D                  Em
Oh, I tried diving, even though the sky was storming
Bm                C
Thunderheads were forming


[Chorus]
 D
But then I thought I could fly
                   C
And when I hit the ground
    C
It made a messed up sound
               Bm                  D
And it kept on rattling through my days
                 C
And cutting up my nights
      C
Like a goddamn knife
              Bm                     D
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
      D
I just wanted to get back to where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
G                                 C
I tried going against my own soul's warning
           G    Em                       D
And in the end, something just didn't feel right
      C                     D               Em
Oh, I tried running from the memory and the mourning
        Bm             C
But the penalty kept on pouring


[Chorus]
                      D
And now I think I know why
                      C
'Cause when I hit the ground
      C
It made a messed up sound
               Bm                  D
And it kept on rattling through my days
                   C
And cutting up my nights
   C
Like a goddamn knife
               Bm                     D
And it got me thinking, no matter how far

I just wanted to get back to where you are
