H [E] ands in line, arms close to my [G#m] side [G#m7]
I'm fighting [C#m] tides of an ocean's undertows [B]
And I figure I [A] might not make it
[E] I'm taking empty, but seldom [G#m] speaking [G#m7]
And the words retreat, [C#m] yeah they breathin' histories still at ease [B]
and the stories untold, [A] and my arms unfold [E]
My hands are high [G#m] [G#m7]
And I'm holding out, I'm [C#m7] holding on
And I figure that I, [B] figure that I just [A] might make it
And I'm [E] waking empty but seldom sleeping [G#m] [G#m7]
And the words repeat, [C#m] breathing histories into stories untold [B]
brrrrr I, [A] I un [E] fold [G#m] , oo [G#m7] oh
see now, my quality is [C#m7] what you see now in the corner of your eye, say [G#m7]

And the words repeat, [C#m7] breathing histories into stories untold - brrrr I, I [B] unfold [A] [E]
