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

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

Just a mile outside of town
