Verse

       G                                D
I keep floatin' down the river, but the ocean never comes
       G                                Am        (Am7)
And since the operation, I heard you're breathing just for once
       Em7                     F#/G
Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love
       Em7                     Dsus2       Dsus*          * G|-0h2-0------|
You left another message, said "it's done", it's done       D|------0h2-0-|

G G/A

       G                                 D
When I hear beautiful music, it's always from another time,
       G                                 Am      (Am7)
Old friends I never visit, well, I remember what they're like
       Em7                     F#/G
Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies,
       Em7                     Dsus2       Dsus*
Waiting to be asked to come inside, just come inside

G

Chorus

           Bm                     D
But I keep Go-oh-oh Go-oh-oh-in' out
          G                F#/G              Em7
And I can sleep next to a stranger when I'm comming down
        Bm              Am                            G
It's 8A.M. my heart's beating too loud, too loud
      Bm     Am      Em7       Am
Don't be so amazing, or I'll miss you too much
  Em7                              Dsus2 Dsus*
I felt something that I have never touched

(I may be wrong, this part is tough to hear under the strings)

G

       G                        D
Everything gets smaller now the further that I go 
       G                          Am           (Am7)
Towards the mouth and the reunion of the known and the unknown 
       Em7                      F#/G
Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home 
       Em7                       Dsus2                     Dsus*
You can move mountains with your misery if you don't, if you don't 
       G                          D
It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two 
       G                                Am       (Am7)
Under the eaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit 
      Em7                          F#/G
Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth 
      Em7              Dsus2           Dsus*
There will never be a time more opportune 

          Bm        D
So I just won't be late 
      G            F#/G            Em7
The window closes, shocks roll over in a tidal wave
            Bm                  Am          G
And all the color drains out of the frame 
    Bm                               D
So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good
       G                  F#/G         Em7
I took off my shoes and walked into the woods 
   Em7                Dsus2            Dsus*     G
I felt lost and found with every step I took
