Fmaj7 I wonder where I float to When I return to dust? Em Am A sea to wash away the last of us Fmaj7 It's such a funny feeling The world's at war again Em But in this very moment Am Fmaj7 Em Am Oh, it couldn't matter less, oh, oh Fmaj7 Immersed in deepest ocean The waves all move as one Em Am G/B C Then separate themselves under the sun Chorus: Dm Am C G And as we sing this familiar song Dm Am C G I thought I'm gonna miss your love when it's gone Dm Am Will it flow into the river C G Dm Am Or will it go to waste? Em Dm Am C G Before we drift away Dm Am C G Dm Am C G Before we drift away Somnus waits for no one A clock without a face Will it feel like an arrest or our escape?
