Song structure:
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
Csus4 C Gsus4 G
Csus4 C Csus4 C G
Back when I used to wander, I was always out looking for signs
Csus4 C G Gsus4 G5
But they were never there, so I'd pull 'em from the air
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
We all believed in something, but like you I can't say why
Csus4 C Gsus4 G
It's just a whisper in our ear, or a bottle for our fears
Am F C
Hold me to the light, let me shine
G Am F C
Come hold me against the floor, and say it's alright
G Am Em F G Gsus4 G5
Come hold me 'neath the water's skin, till I'm new again
Csus4 C Csus4 C G
I said what I was thinking, now you can't see what's good till it's gone
Csus4 C G Gsus4 G5
Then there's something to be said, for a place to lay your head
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
You told me I was simple, and you envied me that piece of mind
Csus4 C Gsus4 G
And I listened to the creek, and it did much more for me
Am F C
I'll hold you to the light, let you shine
G Am F C
I'll hold you against the floor, and say it's alright
G Am Em F G
'cause down beneath the water's skin, where we will swim
Am Em F
There's diamonds on the surface then, and they'll come clean us
G Gsus4 G5
(We'll) both live again
Csus4 C Csus4 riff
These days I barely wander, and I don't need no more of them signs
Csus4 C G (strum)
I just breathe in all that air, and be happy that it's there
