[Intro]
F#m D F#m C#
D F#m D F#m

[Verse 1]
F#m
Picture a man
F#m
Seen like a spec out
from the shore
          D
Swimming out beyond
the breakers
           F#m
Like he's done his life before
           E            C#
He feels a coming of a squall
              D
Will drag him out a
          F#m
greater length
         D
But knows his strength,
              F#m
and tries to gather it

[Verse 2]
F#m
And he swims on
F#m
Turning back to shore again
           D
Above the outer atmosphere
      F#m
Of a world he's never seen
             E               C#
And looking down to his new home
           D
He feels the rising of
   F#m                D
a wave and knows at once
             F#m
He will not weather it
            E    C#
 like that man
[Pre-Chorus]
C#       D
I lookеd down into the
  F#m          D
 depths when I mеt you
D
I couldn't measure it

[Chorus]
  A
Anytime I'd struggled on
              D
Against the course out
      F#m
 on my own
       E  C#
Every time I'd burn
       D          F#m
through the world, I'd see
         C#
That the world,
       E       F#m
 it burns through me
F#m
But when I (I),
 I'd let go (I'd let go)
               D
My struggling form
(My struggling form)
   F#m
My willing soul (I'd see)
 E        C#
Every time (Each time)
              D
Would flow through
            F#m
the world, I'd see
C#        E
That the world (The world)
F#m
It flows through me
 (It flows through me)
   C#         E
That the world, it
             F#m
flows through me

[Verse 2]
F#m
Picture a grave
F#m
Picture six feet freshly dug
      D
The sharp temporary walls
              F#m
At the long-term cliff
edge of the world
        E
Light and air find some
   C#
 new deepness there
     D             F#m
And usher down the sky
      F#m     Dmaj7
Where one stands by and
          F#m
 tries to make sense of it

[Verse 3]
F#m
But try measure loss
F#m
Measure the silence of a house
       D
The unheard footsteps
at the doorway
          F#m
The unemployment of the mouth
          E              C#
The waking up, having forgotten
         D
And remembering again
   F#m         D
 the full extent
       F#m
Of what forever is

[Pre-Chorus]
           E    C#
With each grave
          D
I think of loss and
             F#m       D
I can only think of you
             F#m
And I couldn't measure it

[Chorus]
 A
Anytime I've struggled on
(Struggled on)
                D
Against the course
(Against the course)
F#m
Out on my own (I'd see)
   E             C#
Every time (Each time)
                 D
I'd burn through the
         F#m
world, I'd see
           C#
That the world (The world)
E             F#m
It burns through me
 (Burns through me)
F#m
But when I (I),
I'd let go (I'd let go)
               D
My struggling form
(My struggling form)
E         F#m
My willing soul (I'd see)
       E       C#
Every time (Each time)
              D
Would flow through
               F#m
 the world, I'd see
          C#
That the world (The world)
E              F#m
It flows through me
 (It flows through me)
         C#     E
That the world, it
        F#m
flows through me
