H [E]ands in line, arms close to my [G#m]side [G#m7]
I'm fighting [C#m]tides of an ocean's undertows [B]
And I figure I [A]might not make it
[E]I'm taking empty, but seldom [G#m]speaking [G#m7]
And the words retreat, [C#m]yeah they breathin' histories still at ease [B]
and the stories untold, [A]and my arms unfold [E]
My hands are high [G#m] [G#m7]
And I'm holding out, I'm [C#m7]holding on
And I figure that I, [B]figure that I just [A]might make it
And I'm [E]waking empty but seldom sleeping [G#m] [G#m7]
And the words repeat, [C#m]breathing histories into stories untold [B]
brrrrr I, [A]I un [E]fold [G#m], oo [G#m7]oh
see now, my quality is [C#m7]what you see now in the corner of your eye, say [G#m7]
and [C#m7]don't be surprised if you hear the bells ring, they form from the [G#m7]sky
they sound bong, [C#m7]bong, bong, bong bah-dah, eyeah yeah [G#m7]yeah
ah, brrra da [C#m7]bong, bong, bong, bong bad-dah, eyeah yeah [G#m7]yeah,

because I figure that I, just [B]figure that I just make [A]it.
[E]And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping [G#m] [G#m7]
And the words repeat, [C#m7]breathing histories into stories untold - brrrr I, I [B]unfold [A] [E]
