On a gBbreen colored island
On a pFrimitive man
It was the fBbuture reflecting

A street was mBbissing a building

Bb/FI saw patterns on floorboards
DFeep in the dust was a leader
Bb/FSomeone was walking on floorboards
TFurning from oak into cedar
Bb/FHe can assess the situation
FI wrapped a string around my finger
Bb/FInto the forest with the young ones
FI don't expect to be a winner
[Chorus]
GmBut as long as you Em7b5feel it

[Verse 1]

Bb Bb F F

| | | | | x2

And there were future reflections

On the face and the hands

On a green colored island

On a primitive man

It was the future reflecting

It felt familiar but new

A street was missing a building

The kids had something to do

[Chorus]

Gm Dm

There was a feeling the spirit was leaving

Asus4 Am

Red like a marker

G F6

So my tribe, with my knife

Cm Bb

Cut the heart from a lonely life

[Verse 2]

Bb/F

I saw patterns on floorboards

Deep in the dust was a leader

Bb/F

Someone was walking on floorboards

Turning from oak into cedar

Bb/F

He can assess the situation

I wrapped a string around my finger

Bb/F

Into the forest with the young ones

I don't expect to be a winner

[Chorus]

Gm Em7b5

But as long as you feel it

I'm a believer

Asus4 Am

My heart is phosphor

G F6

Sea rolls and death tolls

Cm Bb

Break the surface don't break my bones

Gm Em7b5

Off of the trail and

Off of your hands and

Asus4 Am

Onto a new plan

G F6

Is the cost to stay lost

Cm Bb

Forever in an empty skin

Bm7b5

Pale and thin

[Outro]

F/C Bm7b5

If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell

Bbmaj7 F/A

But pieces come together for some reason just as well

F/C

Their guns couldn't see us

Bm7b5

There's a sea outside my door

Bbmaj7

And one day I'll appreciate

F/A A/C# Dm C

The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore

Bb F

And remember what it felt like

Dm C

To be alone

Bb F

Sitting in the sunlight

Dm C Bb F

All alone

Dm Dm C C
