Verse 1:
Gmaj7 ---------------------------------
Wrestling with the shadows of the night
- C ------------------------------------- Am7 -
I feel my whole world slipping through my fists
--------- D7 -------------------
It's like I've got nothing goin'
-------- G ------------------------
and what I know's not worth knowin'
-------- G -------------------------------------
Then the first burst of the yellow morning light
C ------------------------------- Am7
filters through the tracing paper mist
----- D7 -------------------------------------
And I find myself freewheelin' through my fear
------------------------------- G ----
and those old feelings all take flight
Chorus 1:
G -- RIFF 1 ---------- C-Am7 --- D7 ---------------- G -
It's like the sun releas-es my soul as they fall a-way
G -- RIFF 1 ---------- C-Am7 ------ D7 -------------- G -
They're broken into piec-es by the toll of the every-day
G -- RIFF 1 ------ C-Am7 ---- D7--------------- G ----
Love and small ambit-ions and good hearts run a-ground
G - RIFF 1 -------- C-Am7 - D7 ---------------- G ---
The pull of our condi-tion, turning the world a-round
Verse 2:
Gmaj7 ---------------------------
Turning my world over in my head,
C ------------------------------------ Am7 -
memories swimming round me chase their tails
- D7 ----------------------- G ---------------------------
A raging ocean brimming with hungry sharks, still circling
G ---------------------------------
Seven seas all drowning me in dread
C ----------------------------- Am7 -
drag me down again and shred my sails
D7 ------------------------------------------------
Then she calls to talk and I'm clinging to the rock
---------------------------- G --
of something simple that she said
Chorus 2:
G -- RIFF 1 ----- C -Am7 --- D7 ------------- G ---
Rain washed conversa-tions, born from winter blues
G -- RIFF 1 -----C-Am7--- D7 ---------------- G -
Sprung from situa-tions seen from somewhere new
G -- RIFF 2.1 -- C -Am7 - D7 - RIFF 2.2 - G --
August burned ecsta-tic, Autumn coming down
G -- RIFF 2.1 -- C-Am7 - D7 ---------------- G ---
Tiny twists of mag-ic, turning the world a-round
