G# G#/G Fm
Oh country down
D# G#
Where I found my proving ground

All along the floodline

Just a mile outside of town

Down-river bound

Where the limit to your sky fell down

Is furrowed into your brow

Against your better judgment

It's all behind you now

What's the use in being found

In the weeds hiding downriver right next door

Just a view through my back door

Growing through your prison door

You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun

On a ladder up to the sky

Holding a lifeline, using my best defense

Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against
