Intro
F# A#m C# G#
F# A#m C# G# C#
[Verse 1]
C# ( F# ) C#
Somewhere high up in the air there
( F# ) A#m ( F# ) C#
I had long forgotten I belong to you
( F# ) C# ( F# ) C#
Some unconscious stream of twisted logic
( F# ) A#m G# C#
Caught me in its whirlwind, left me black and blue
[Chorus 1]
F# A#m
I was senseless, battered and defenceless
C# G#
Rain became relentless, leaving barren skies
F# A#m
I was broken, all I left unspoken
C# G# C#
Left me torn wide open, barely still alive
[Verse 2]
C# ( F# ) C#
Found your letter sealed away in storage
( F# ) A#m ( F# ) C#
Under my pretences, buried out of view
( F# ) C# ( F# ) C#
I recalled it hidden in a notebook
( F# ) A#m G# C#
Tattered, ruffled pages old but good as new
[Chorus 2]
F# A#m
I was listless, how could I have missed this?
C# G#
If you are the groundswell, I'm tossed in your tide
F# A#m
I was certain if I'd seen it comin'
C# G# C#
I'd have started running back at the starting line
[Interlude]

F# A#m C# G# C#
[Verse 3]
C# ( F# ) C#
Well I faltered, left you at the altar
( F# ) A#m ( F# ) C#
Offering my apologies and my gratitude
( F# ) C# ( F# ) C#
Now there's a sinking feeling in my chest
( F# ) A#m G# C#
You're gonna love me less when I return to you
[Chorus 3]
F# A#m
But you were never one to keep a record
C# G#
One to hold against me all I failed to prove
F# A#m
I've been tethered, floating like a feather
C# G# C#
Anxious in my roaming, stranded on the move
[Outro]
