[Verse 1]
EThe day I turned my Dback on all you Apeople
EI felt an Ditching in my Athumbs.
C#mSalt air like a E7broadcast from the F#mdistant, dark B7beyond
       A                D   A(Bbmaj7/A) A  
When my transformation comes.
[Verse 2]
EI went dDown to the warm, warm Awater
ESaw a Dpelican flypasAt
C#mWaved once at thE7e highway and then F#mleft all that B7behind me
       A                D   A(Bbmaj7/A) A  
I went wading through the grass.
[Chorus]
BmAnd no one was Dmgonna come and Amaj7get me.
BmThere wasn't anDmybody gonna Amaj7know.
F#mEven though I Dleave a trail of C#7burnt things in my F#mwake
         A               D    A(Bbmaj7/A) A  
Every single place I go.

[Verse 3]
EAnd it was cDool, and it was qAuiet
EIn the Dhumid marsh down Athere.
C#mI let my head E7sink down F#mbeneath the bB7rackish water,
       A               D   A(Bbmaj7/A) A  
Felt it gumming up my hair.
[Verse 4]
EThe sun was sinking Dinto the AtlanAtic
The Elast time that I Dturned my back on Ayou.
I C#mtried to summon E7up a little F#mprayer as I went B7under
          A                   D   A(Bbmaj7/A) A  
It was the best that I could do.
[Chorus]
And I said
BmLet them all fare Dmbetter than your serAmaj7vant,
BmThe reeds all Dmpricking at my skiAmaj7n.  
Here's F#mhoping they have Dbetter luck than C#7I had down here with B7you

All that water rushing in
