[G] [D]
[G] [D]
I started out in search of ordinary things.
How much of a tree bends in the wind?
I started telling the story without knowing the end.
I used [C#] to be darker, [D] [G] then I got lighter, then I got [D] dark again.
Something too big to be seen was passing over and over [Em] me.
Well
[D]
[G] it seemed like a routine [D] case at first.
[G] With the death of the shadow came [D] a lightness of verse.
[G] For the darkest [Em] of nights and [D] truth still dazzled.
[G] Then I broke myself [D] until I'm frazzled.
[G] [D]
I ended up in search of [G] [D] ordinary things.
Like how can a wave possibly be?
I started running, [G] and the [D] concrete turned to sand.
I started running, and things didn't pan out as planned.
[G]
[D]
[G] In case things go poorly, [D] then I'll not return.
[G] Remember the good things [D] that I've done.
[G] In case things go poorly, [D] then I'll not return.
[G] Remember the good things [D] that I've done.
[G]
[D] Don't meet him.
