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

[Verse 3]
E E/D# C#m
Time evermore
B E
You just found what you're looking for

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