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
