Am
                   G
Waded out past the wave's swell
                     F
where we all floated hopeless
                                Am
and he told us to stop treading water
                  C
he sang about the sand
                             G
where we could all touch our feet down
                F
he held out his hand
                             Am
with his tipped back he sang loud
    C  C*     Am         F         G
but he didn't listen, he swam off alone
C    C*       Am         F                G
long live his words, all caught up on his own
        C    C*      Am        F                G
he said "someday the moon will reach out to the sun
F         G           C     C* Am F        G             Am
  but for now it must drift along, but for now he drifts along"
