G                                    C
I tried going against my own soul's warning
           G    Em                          D
But in the end, something just didn't feel right
        C                 D                 Em     C
Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming
        G
I just wanted to get back to where you are

              D                             C
If you could see through the banner of the sun
                                              Bm
Into eternity's eyes, like a vision reaching down to you
                 D
Would you turn away?
                             C
What if it knew you by your name?
What kind of words would cut through the clutter
         Bm                D
of the whirlwind of these days?

G                                    C
I tried going against my own soul's warning
           G    Em                          D
But in the end, something just didn't feel right
        C                 D                 Em
Oh, I tried diving even though the sky was storming
  Bm               C
Thunderheads were forming

Chorus:
                             D
But then I thought I could fly
                     C
And when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
                Bm                  D
And it kept on rattling through my days
                   C
And cutting up my nights
Like a goddamn knife
                Bm                     D
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are

I tried going against my own soul's warning
And in the end, something just didn't feel right
Oh, I tried running from the memory and the mourning
But the penalty kept on pouring

Chorus
