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

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