Standard Tuning, No Capo
Down the stBbmreet the dogs are C#barking
They're G#calling home the F#night
Where some Bbmhearts will get C#broken
and G#some will come to F#life
On and C#on and on we G#ride this wave
til it Fmall gets set alive
Bbm  C# F#m
OutBbmside the world is C#changing
though you G#never see the wheel in F#spin
All the Bbmthings you come to C#know and like
will G#pass into the F#wind
On and C#on and on we G#turn like tops 
til it Fmall gets set alive
I F#know the house is G#burning C#down 
but F#I still can't G#seem to lFmeave it
Bbm C# F#m
BefBbmore the void it takeC#s us
and the G#conversations F#run
We tie Bbmup this string that C#binds us
and makes G#many rivers F#one
on and C#on we'll go sleepG#walking 
through Fmall the damage done
I F#know the house is G#burning C#down
But F#I still can't G#seem to lFmeave
I F#know the house is G#burning C#down
But F#I still can't G#seem to lFmeave
