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