Intro
Em  G  Cmaj7  Am
Em  G  Cmaj7  Am


Verse 1
Em    G              Cmaj7
Jaded eyes along the border,
Em     G                     Cmaj7
All my dreams have turned to grey,
Em   G                    Cmaj7
In a thousand years, I'll still be waiting 'round,
              Em         G    Cmaj7
Steady like a stone in a hurricane.


Chorus
Em  G       Cmaj7
  I can't explain,
    Am
The feeling in my windpipe,
Em    G       Cmaj7
  You won't believe,
     Am
I'll tell you, when the time's right,
Em  G         Cmaj7  Am
Hold . . . me down,
Em  G         Cmaj7  Am
Hold . . . me down.


Verse 2
Em       G                Cmaj7
 I won't leave you in the morning,
Em          G              Cmaj7
But I can't live off yesterday,
Em          G               Cmaj7
 And all my time, I seem to save the worst for last,
              Em         G    Cmaj7
Steady like a stone in a hurricane.


Chorus
Em  G       Cmaj7
  I can't explain,
    Am
The feeling in my windpipe,
Em    G       Cmaj7
  You won't believe,
     Am
I'll tell you, when the time's right,
Em  G         Cmaj7  Am
Hold . . . me down,
Em  G         Cmaj7  Am    Dsus4*
Hold . . . me down.


Bridge
       Em            G          C
In the end, it's all out in the rain.


Outro
Em  G       Cmaj7
  I can't explain,
    Am
The feeling in my windpipe,
Em    G       Cmaj7
  You won't believe,
     Am
I'll tell you, when the time's right,
Em  G         Cmaj7  Am
Hold . . . me down,
Em  G         Cmaj7  Am
Hold . . . me down.
          Em    G  Cmaj7  Am
Who oh oh ooh . . .,
          Em    G  Cmaj7  Am
Who oh oh ooh . . .,
              Em         G    Cmaj7  Am
Steady like a stone in a hurricane.
