C Well, the anchor has been tested I guess we’ll stay put for awhile F I put the fire where it wanted Fm Watched the water become dry Em Once more, I was lost in thoughts that were not mine G When I looked up, they were lost upon the tide C And now I’m just an island in these systems of silence F Fm And as I drift around, I’m still bound to find the frowns Em Am Em G On the faces of my friends, until the metronome ends..
F Em These windblown eyes Dm C Finding it hard to see F Em There’s no straight lines Dm C Out on this open sea F Em No way back home Dm C Only places to be F Em It’s a wondrous world Dm C But it’s got the best of me
F Em Dm C Got the best of, oh-oh, oh-oh.. F Em Dm C Got the best of, oh-oh, oh-oh..

C As if it was a given, I let the rhythm ease my mind F Fm I pulled the cold out of the dark and I poured the darkness on the light Em But I wanted more Don’t we all dissolve into the night G Only to wake up G In the morning untied? C And all the blessed pieces Well, they have been dust now for some time F And the rest, it carries on Fm All imperfect and just fine Em Another season gone Am Do I belong to them, or they to me? Em Do the reflections Am Belong to the stars or to the sea? Em How do I let go G Of yesterday and yet to be?..
