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

G G/F# Em
Time evermore
D G
You just found what you're looking for

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

Where we found my proving ground
G G/F# Em
All along the floodline
D G
Waves are turning around
D G
The hills roll out like centuries
D G
Pass by without a sound
D C Em D
Just a mile outside of town
