[Verse 1]
D D/C# Bm
Oh country down
A D
Where I found my proving ground
D D/C# Bm
All along the floodline
A D
Wheels are turning around
A D
The hills roll out like centuries
A D
Pass by without a sound
A G Bm A
Just a mile outside of town
[Verse 2]
D D/C# Bm
Down-river bound
A D
Where the limit to your sky fell down
D D/C# Bm
B plot against your will
A D
Is furrowed into your brow
A D
Against your better judgment
A D
It's all behind you now
A G Bm A
Just a mile outside of town
[Bridge 1]
E G
What's the use in being found
Bm A
When you can lose yourself in some good ground?
E G
In the weeds hiding downriver right next door
Bm
There's no frame around your picture
A
Just a view through my back door

Time evermore
A D
You just found what you're looking for

----- B tiger rose
A D
Growing through your prison door
A D
Reaching for sunlight
A D
Can't see it anymore
A G Bm A
Just a mile from my back door
[Bridge 2]
E G
You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun
Bm
On a ladder up to the sky
A
You're standing on the lowest rung
E G
Holding a lifeline, using my best defense
Bm A
Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against
[Verse 4]
D D/C# Bm
Oh lay me down
A D
Where we found my proving ground

All along the floodline
A D
Waves are turning around
A D
The hills roll out like centuries

Pass by without a sound
A G Bm A
Just a mile outside of town
