The version that was already up here had the interlude all wrong
and a lot of the chords were misplaced throughout the song.
This one should be more accurate. Enjoy!
I mDet you through a coBmmmon friend
in the attGic of my pDarent's house
and thougDh I didn't know it thBmen
I sGoon was finding Aout
you are the rBmoots that sleep benGeath my feet
and hDold the earth in pAlace
each time a fBmaucet opens
Gwords are spoken
the Dwater runs aAway
and I hear your Gname
no, nothing Dhas changed
D Bm G D
Dthere was this book I Bmread and loved
the stGory of a shipD
who sailDed around the world Bmand found
that nGothing else existAs
beyond his Bmown two sails
and wGooden shell
and Dwhat is held withAin
all else is Bmsure to pass
we cGlutch and grasp
and dDebate what's truly pAermanent
but when the wind starts to Gshift
there's no arguDment
[Interlude]
I sDing and drink and Asleep on floors
and tBmry hard nGot to be annoyed
by aF#ll these people Bmworrying aboutA me
soD when I'm suffering through some Aawful drive
you occDasionally Gcross my mind
it's my hDidden hope that Bmyou are still Aamong them
well are you?
[Interlude]
Oh, you are the Droots that sleep benGeath my feet
and hoDld the earth in placAe
each time a cuDrtain opens
suGnlight pours in
a liDfetime melts Aaway
and we share Ga name
on some picturesque gDrave
