Intro: Am 
                   G 
Waded out past the wave's swell 
                     F 
where we all floated hopeless 
                                Am 
and he told us to stop treading water 
                  C 
he sang about the sand 
                             G 
where we could all touch our feet down 
                F 
he held out his hand 
                             Am 
with his tipped back he sang loud 
    C  C     Am         F         G 
but he didn't listen, he swam off alone 
C    C       Am         F                G 
long live his words, all caught up on his own 
        C    C      Am        F                G 
he said "someday the moon will reach out to the sun 
F         G           C     C Am F        G             Am 
  but for now it must drift along, but for now he drifts along"  

this sounds pretty right to me, just what i figured out while messing around with a friend
