Verse 1
C C 
 
Em Em 
 
I spent my time, watching
G G 
 
C C 
 
The spaces that have grown between us
Em Em 
 
And I cut my mind on second best
G G 
 
C C 
 
Oh, the scars that come with the greenness
Em Em 
 
And I gave my eyes to the boredom
G G 
 
C C 
 
Still, the seabed wouldn't let me in
Em Em 
 
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
G G 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
In which I  swim

Verse 2
C C 
 
Now walking back,
Em Em 
 
down this mountain
G G 
 
C C 
 
The strength of a turnin' tide
Oh the wind so soft,
Em Em 
 
and my skin
G G 
 
C C 
 
Yeah, the sun so hot upon my side
Em Em 
 
Oh, lookin' out at this happiness
G G 
 
C C 
 
I searched for between the sheets
Em Em 
 
Oh feelin' blind, I realize

the other day

And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'
Oh, I said I'd been away,
