How To Play
INTRO
A F#m G#sus4 x4
VERSE 1 [0:27]
A F#m G#sus4
It's always around me, all this noise but
A F#m G#sus4
Not nearly as loud as a voice singing
A F#m G#sus4
Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
A F#m G#sus4
Just let it happen, let it happen
CHORUS [0:56]
D#m B
All this running around
C# F#
Trying to cover my shadow
D#m B
An ocean growing inside
C# F#
Now all the others seem shallow
D#m B
All this running around
C# F#
Bearing down on my shoulders
D#m B
I can hear an alarm
C# C#sus4
Must be morning
POST CHORUS [1:27]
A F#m G#sus4 x4
VERSE 2 [1:44]
A F#m G#sus4
I heard about a whirlwind that's coming around
A F#m G#sus4
It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound, and
A F#m G#sus4
When it happens, when it happens (I'll be holding on)
A F#m
So let it happen, let it happen
CHORUS [2:09]
D#m B
All this running around
C# F#
I can't fight it much longer
D#m B
Something's trying to get out
C# F#
And it's never been closer
D#m B
If my ticker fails
C# F#
Make up some other story
D#m B
But if I never come back
C# F#
Tell my mother I'm sorry
SOLO (this continues until around [4:04], where the synth comes in)

*: this note is the first of each subsequent sentence, so it replaces the first 10 played on the B-string
and sometimes he plays a 7 here

VERSE 3 [5:29]
A F#m
And it means, we move on ice giving
G#sus4
Trying to get dreaming
A
Trying to pose living
F#m G#sus4
You knew I'm not thinking that I would let you in
A
Any other silver
F#m
And I would just do it
G#sus4
Get the meshed thinking
A
Get the meshed dreaming
F#m
Why would I do it
G#sus4
Anyone'd think that
A F#m
I could not do it, we move on ice giving
G#sus4
Trying to get dreaming
A
Trying to pose living
F#m G#sus4
You knew I'm not thinking that I would let you in
A
Any other silver
F#m
And I would just do it
G#sus4
Get the meshed thinking
A
Get the meshed dreaming
F#m
Why would I do it
G#sus4
Anyone'd think that
