[C][Em]

[Verse 1]
Picture a man
Seen like a speck out from the shore
Swim[C]ming out beyond the breakers
like he's done [Em]his life before
He feels the coming of a squall [B]will
drag him out [C]a greater length
[Em]But knows his stre[C]ngth
Tries to gather [Em]it
And he swims on
Turning back to shore again
Above the [C]outer atmosphere of
[Em]a world he's never seen
And looking [D]down to his new [B]home,
he feels [C]the rising of a wave
[Em]And knows at o[C]nce he will not weat[Em]her it

[Verse 2]
Like that [D]man[B]
I looked [C]down into the [Em]depth
s when I met [C]you
I couldn't measure [Em]it
[C]Any time

[Verse 3]
[G]I've struggled on
Against the [C]course
Out on my [E]own
[Em]Every time[D] I'd b[B]urn through the world,[C]
I'd [Em]see
That the [B]world, [D]it burns thr[Em]ough me
But [E]when I'd [Em]let g[E]o
(when I'd, I'd let go)
[Em]My struggling [C]form (my strug[Em]gling form)
My willing soul (I'd see)
[D]Every time [B]I'd flow through the wor[C]ld,
I'd see [Em](each time I'd flow through the)
That the [B]world, [D]it flows thr[Em]ough me (the world,
it flows through me)
That the [B]world, [D]it flows thr[Em]ough me

[Interlude 1]

[B][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
Picture [Em]a grave
Picture six feet freshly dug
The sharp [C]temporary walls at the long-term
cliff [Em]cliff edge of the world
Light and [D]air find some new deep[B]ness
there and [C]usher down the sky
[Em]Where one stan[C]ds by and
tries make [Em]sense of it
But try measure loss
Measure the silence of a house
The unheard [C]footsteps
at the doorway
The unem[Em]ployment of the mouth
The waking [D]up , having forgotten
[B]And remem[C]bering aga[Em]in the
[C]full extent of what [Em]forever is

[Verse 5]
With each [D]grave
[B]I think o[C]f loss and I can o[Em]nly
think of [C]you
And I couldn't meas[Em]ure it

[Verse 6]
Any [G]time I've struggled on
(any time I struggled on)
[D]Against the [C]course [Em](against the)
Out on my [E]own [Em](I'd see)
[D]Every time [B]I'd burn through the wor[C]ld,
I'd see [Em](each time I'd burn through the)
That the [B]world, [D]it burns thr[Em]ough me
(the world, it burns through me)

[Verse 7]
[Em]But when I'd let go
(when I'd, I'd let go)
[C]My struggling form
[Am](my struggling[C] form)
My [Em]willing soul [E](I'd see)
[D]Every time [B]I'd flow through the wor[C]ld,
I'd see [Em](each time I'd flow through the)
That the [B]world, [D]it flows thr[Em]ough me
(the world, it flows through me)
That the [B]world, [G]it flo[Em]ws through me
