D A
Tried to face up to the blinding sun
Bm
Racing for the final word to come
G G/F#
Facing up is hard, to stay devout
D A G
I can’t see the sand and it’s running out
D G
And it’s running out
D A
We quote each other only when we’re wrong
Bm
We tear out the threads and move along
G G/F#
Can’t seem to find common ground
D A Em
I can’t see the sand and it’s running out
A
It was only circumstances
D
But it’s the difference
A
It gets in the way
Em A
No race is run in this direction
D
You can’t break even
A Bm
You can’t even quit the game
D G D A Bm G D A G D G
D
The current drags to the bottom
A
A hemorrhage that moves us around
Bm
Pulls and beckons, strong direction
G G/F#
High water forever bringing us down
D A G
I can’t see the sand and it’s running out
D G
It’s running out
Em A
It was only circumstances
D
But it’s the difference
A
It gets in the way
Em A
No race is run in this direction
D
You can’t break even
A G D
You can’t even quit the game
