Intro: C Em D (2x)


C                           G 
If you ever lost your philosophy 
D                           Em 
Water's rising up from the sand 
Am                    G              D 
You just keep on drifting away from land 
C                          G 
If you ever lost your horizon 
     D                  Em 
You can't even find the sun 
    Am               G                           D 
And you just keep on staring until the damage is done 

        Em         D 
Out of time out of fight 
                C                G 
Tracing circles that don't feel right 
        Em         D 
Out of time out of fight 
                 C                G 
At least we know that at least we tried 
            D 
At least we tried 
                           C 
We're swimming against the tide 

Em D C Em D 

C                             G 
If you're ever lost on a tightrope 
D                          Em 
Running on the tip of your toes 
     Am             G                D 
You keep on getting higher but never close 
    C                          G 
And if you're ever lost in the darkness 
    D                      Em 
You don't know where to begin 
    Am                 G            D 
You need to change you wanna live again 

        Em         D 
Out of time out of fight 
                C                G 
Tracing circles that don't feel right 
        Em         D 
Out of time out of fight 
                 C                G 
At least we know that at least we tried 
            D 
At least we tried 
                           C 
We're swimming against the tide

G 
The only time you're really lost 
               D                                     
Is when you're standing still at any cost

Tracing circles that don't feel right 
        Em         D 
Out of time out of fight 
                 C                G 
At least we know that at least we tried 
          Em           D 
Night and day, day and night 
                 C                G 
At least we know that at least we tried
