Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
I can feel myself sinking
Fsus2 
back to the earth
G 
Each new idea seems to
Am 
make it much worse
Maybe death is a mask for some
Fsus2 
kind of rebirth
G 
Am 
It's dragging me slow through the mud
C 
I'm driving through
G 
Holland in the middle of the night
Am 
G 
C 
G 
The rain's blowing fiercely
Am 
over the dykes
Over the sea,
F 
Fsus2 
I can't just make out      the lights
G 
Am 
But I don't know how deep is your love
G 
Am 
Well I look over yonder and what do I see
G 
Am 
A big band of angels singing to me
They wave to come closer but there
F 
Fsus2 
ain't time you see
Gsus4 
G 
Am 
My below has  no use for above
F 
Fsus2 
I've been so many places,
G 
where do I  begin
C 
G 
Am 
As soon as it's over, it starts up again
F 
Fsus2 
All I remember of you,
G 
as the memory grows thin
C 
G 
Are the tears in the dark and the
Fsus2 
Am 
salt     on your skin
Well I never played
F 
Fsus2 
Hamlet but I learned some good lines
G 
How good is timeless when
Am 
you're running out of time
Why does life with a reason get
F 
Fsus2 
tricked by a        rhyme?
Gsus4 
G 
Am 
What's the trick    of not turning back?
C 
G 
C 
I ask you how far, how far does far go?
G 
Where this crossroad ends,
Am 
baby, I'll never know
I never was one to
Fsus2 
get knocked off the road
Gsus4 
But I        sometimes lost
G 
Am 
sight of the track
G 
Gsus4 
G 
Searching      the border,
Am 
why search anymore?
G 
It's shrouded in a mist
like a faraway shore
Am 
Well, I don't even know where
F 
Fsus2 
we're is anymore
Gsus4 
Am 
And I wouldn't know fiction from fact
F 
I've been so many places,
Fsus2 
G 
how do I begin?
C 
G 
C 
G 
Am 
Soon as it's over,  it starts up again
F 
All I remember of you,
Fsus2 
G 
as the memory grows thin
C 
G 
Gsus4 
G 
are the tears in the dark
F 
Fsus2 
Am 
and the salt on       your skin.
Well, you made a sad smile when
F 
Fsus2 
I touched your face,
G 
tracing lines with my
Am 
fingers I couldn't replace.
I pointed to blue skies big
Fsus2 
ger      than space,
Gsus4 
G 
Am 
But I knew     that you only saw rain
C 
G 
Some get so tired and sick of romance
C 
G 
Some are unlucky  cause
Am 
they never had the chance
For some love is just the
F 
heat of the dance
Fsus2 
Gsus4 
You sleepwalk     and you
G 
Am 
slow through the flames
G 
C 
G 
Am 
The sky is sending messages into  the air
G 
Gsus4 
G 
I don't know many     places,
I'd know anywhere
Am 
When the dealer dealt danger,
F 
Fsus2 
I was getting my share
Gsus4 
But there's no       point
G 
Am 
in talking about that
F 
Fsus2 
I've been so many places,
G 
how do I  begin?
C 
G 
Am 
Soon as it's over, it  starts up again
F 
Fsus2 
All I remember of you is
Gsus4 
G 
the memory   grows thin
Gsus4 
C 
G 
Are      the tears in the dark
Fsus2 
Am 
and the salt     on your skin
Salt on your skin
