[Intro]

E A F#m B

[Verse 1]

E A F#m B

In the holding tank I built for myself, it's feeding time

E A F#m B

And I start to feel afraid 'cause I'm the last one left in line

F#m E D A

The endless string of summer storms that led me to today

E A B E

Began one afternoon with you long ago and far away

[Chorus]

C#m E B A

And someone leads the beast in on his chain

E B A

And I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain

E A B E

So I won't be afraid of anything ever again

[Interlude]

E A F#m B

[Verse 2]

E A F#m B

In the cell that holds my body back, the door swings wide

E A F#m B

And I feel like someone's lost child as the guards lead me outside

F#m E D A

And if the clouds are gathering, it's just to point the way

E A B E

To an afternoon I spent with you when it rained all day

[Chorus]

C#m E B A

And someone leads the beast in on his chain

E B A

And I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain

E A B E

So I won't be afraid of anything ever again

[Outro]

E A F#m B
