Intro
E G#m B F#
E G#m B F# B
[Verse 1]
B ( E ) B
Somewhere high up in the air there
( E ) G#m ( E ) B
I had long forgotten I belong to you
( E ) B ( E ) B
Some unconscious stream of twisted logic
( E ) G#m F# B
Caught me in its whirlwind, left me black and blue
[Chorus 1]
E G#m
I was senseless, battered and defenceless
B F#
Rain became relentless, leaving barren skies
E G#m
I was broken, all I left unspoken
B F# B
Left me torn wide open, barely still alive
[Verse 2]
B ( E ) B
Found your letter sealed away in storage
( E ) G#m ( E ) B
Under my pretences, buried out of view
( E ) B ( E ) B
I recalled it hidden in a notebook
( E ) G#m F# B
Tattered, ruffled pages old but good as new
[Chorus 2]
E G#m
I was listless, how could I have missed this?
B F#
If you are the groundswell, I'm tossed in your tide
E G#m
I was certain if I'd seen it comin'
B F# B
I'd have started running back at the starting line
[Interlude]
E G#m B F#
E G#m B F# B
[Verse 3]
B ( E ) B
Well I faltered, left you at the altar
( E ) G#m ( E ) B
Offering my apologies and my gratitude
( E ) B ( E ) B
Now there's a sinking feeling in my chest
( E ) G#m F# B
You're gonna love me less when I return to you
[Chorus 3]
E G#m
But you were never one to keep a record
B F#
One to hold against me all I failed to prove
E G#m
I've been tethered, floating like a feather
B F# B
Anxious in my roaming, stranded on the move
