Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key of C - Verses and Refrains
Key of G - Chorus



Verse 1:
C        G
I take flight on borrowed time
 Am      Em
I was once terrified of heights
 Am       C             G
I say a prayer, I look down and I'm ready to die
C       G
If you cross over tonight
  Am       Em
You see beyond the darkest sky
  Am         C          G
You taste the blood as something wild and alive

Refrain:
     F       C
You might light up in a flash
        C   Am
You won't hold onto a flame
    F       G         C      Am
It's a squalid way to live but it's the rules of the game
     F              C5
It ain't your fault it's just a shame
    G5   C
To fall without aim


Interlude:

  G | Am  C | Am  C |  G  |


Verse 2:
C        G
I walk down east seventh street
 Am        C
A wistful, wild de-pravity
 Am      C             C
Iconoclastic, black and white, dusty and  sweet
 C        G
I tell this story every time
   Am         C
Real love don't follow a straight line
  Am          C           G
It breaks your neck, it builds you a delicate  shrine


Refrain:
     F         G
You might mourn all that you wasted
      C      Am
That's just part of the haul
     F        G          C      Am
Tangling up all your good fortune, bearing the heart of the fall
     F       F5
You won't break it after all


Chorus:
    C      G
Look at us, man and bride
     D
And a grinding sound
     C     G  D
Faithful to a life underground
       C    G          D
And when the picture fades the years will make us calm
      C      G   D
I'll sing a song at your fune - ral
    C    G     D
Laid in the Mississippi gu - lf
       C   G     D
Or back home at Waxahatchee creek
     C     G     D
You know you got a friend in me
    C     G      D
I'm an angler married to the sea
