Verse 1
Bm
I can feel myself sinking
Gsus2
back to the earth
A
Each new idea seems to
Bm
make it much worse
Maybe death is a mask for some
Gsus2
kind of rebirth
A
Bm
It's dragging me slow through the mud
D
I'm driving through
A
Holland in the middle of the night
Bm
A
D
A
The rain's blowing fiercely
Bm
over the dykes
Over the sea,
G
Gsus2
I can't just make out the lights
A
Bm
But I don't know how deep is your love
A
Bm
Well I look over yonder and what do I see
A
Bm
A big band of angels singing to me
They wave to come closer but there
G
Gsus2
ain't time you see
Asus4
A
Bm
My be_ low has no use for above
G
Gsus2
I've been so many places,

where do I begin
D
A
Bm
As soon as it's over, it starts up again
G
Gsus2
All I re_ member of you,
A
as the memory grows thin
D
A
Are the tears in the dark and the
Gsus2
Bm
salt on your skin
Well I never played
G
Gsus2
Hamlet but I learned some good lines
A
How good is timeless when
Bm
you're running out of time
Why does life with a reason get
G
Gsus2
tricked by a rhyme?
Asus4
A
Bm
What's the trick of not turn_ ing back_ ?
D
A

I ask you how far, how far does far go?
A
Where this crossroad end_ s,
Bm
baby, I'll never know
I never was one to
Gsus2
get knocked off the road

But I sometimes lost
A
Bm
sight of the track_
A

A
Search_ ing the border,
Bm
why search anymore?
A
It's shrouded in a mist
like a faraway shore
Bm
Well, I don't even know where
G
Gsus2
we're is anymore
Asus4
Bm
And I wouldn't know fiction from fact
G
I've been so many places,
Gsus2
A
how do I begin?

Gsus2
Bm
and the salt on your skin.
Well, you made a sad smile when

I touched your face,

tra_ cing lines with my
Bm
fingers I couldn't replace.
I pointed to blue skies big_
Gsus2
ger than space,
Asus4
A
Bm
But I knew that you only saw rain
D

Some get so tired and sick of ro_ mance
D

Some are unluck_ y cause

they never had the chance
For some love is just the

heat of the dance

You sleep_ walk and you
A
Bm
slow through the flames
A
D
A
Bm
The sky is sending messages in_ to the air

I don't know many places,
I'd know anywhere
Bm
When the dealer dealt danger,
G
Gsus2
I was get_ ting my share
Asus4
But there's no point
A
Bm
in talking about that
G
Gsus2
I've been so many places,
A
how do I begin?

Soon as it's over, it starts up again
