I woke up today like a ship cut loose
C/G D/A G
And the wind in the night carried me out to sea
G C/G G
What puts me to bed is what I lose

When these eyes of mine come staring back at me
[Chorus]
C/G Em D
I don't cry for the rising sun
C/G Em D C/G
All this dark is hard but you will grow taller
C/G Em D C/G
And the dreams of a buoy are the gold in the water

They will come

They will come

I set the valley on fire and I'm running for the hills
C/G D/A G
And the flame growing higher is licking at my heels

And there's a cliff up-top just waiting on my fall

I'd give everything to get up and still I'm going to lose it all
[Chorus]

I feel older by a thousand years

All these broken things are burning at my side

I wanna see through the mist and out into the clear
C/G D/A G
But I'm blind just the same by day and by night
[Chorus]
