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

[Verse 3]
A A/G# F#m
Time evermore
E A
You just found what you're looking for
A A/G# F#m
----- F# tiger rose
E A
Growing through your prison door
E A
Reaching for sunlight
E A
Can't see it anymore
E D F#m E
Just a mile from my back door
[Bridge 2]
B D
You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun
F#m
On a ladder up to the sky
E
You're standing on the lowest rung
B D
Holding a lifeline, using my best defense
F#m E
Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against
[Verse 4]
A A/G# F#m
Oh lay me down
E A
Where we found my proving ground
A A/G# F#m
All along the floodline
E A
Waves are turning around
E A
The hills roll out like centuries
E A
Pass by without a sound
E D F#m E
Just a mile outside of town
