Verse 1 (arpeggiate chords throughout first section):
A [x0222x] D#dim [xx1212]
You better listen anybody
A F#m [2442xx]
‘Cause I’m gonna make it clear
A D#dim
That my life is unimportant
A F#m
What I’ve done I did through fear
A D#dim
There’s a river running thru me
A F#m
Only tide I tried to hide
A D#dim
None the less I could not shake it
A F#m
And in the end it swept aside
B
All my feeble unimportance
D7
I can’t say «never mind»
A B F#m
Can’t you hear me mother calling you?
A B F#m
I’m cold, I’m deaf, I’m blind
A B F#m
And it’s only ’cause you’re lucky
A B F#m
People know that’s no fine
D D#dim A/E F#m
I didn’t think I’d be an actor
D B F#m [N.C.]
What I am I’ll leave behind
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
You better listen anybody
Cause it’s me and you that’s it
And in case you find your maker
Perhaps you’ll plea for us a bit
All my sick is in my stomach
All my sweat is clearly fear
And if you could see inside me
I don’t think you’d have me here
Tell the helmsman veer to starboard
Bring this ship around to port
And if the sea was not so salty
I could sink instead of walk
And in case a passing stranger
Who was standing where I fell
Tell the truth you never knew me
And in truth it’s just as well
Coda:
[repeat first bar of intro]
guitar solo:
A B F#m [repeat to fade]
