A              F#m    A             F#m  
Last night I drifted down to the docks 
A             F#m            A     F#m 
The water, glittering and black. 
A               F#m   A          F#m  
The snow fell lightly and disappeared. 
A           F#m             A       F#m 
I felt the old ropes grow slack. 

Bm               E    Bm               E   
I thought I'd dissolve when the beacon revolved. 
D                                         A     F#m     (Repeat) 
I just get carried, so carried, carried away. 

A              F#m  A            F#m 
Once I had a ship, yes I had a map 
A           F#m         A         F#m 
I had the wind like a tree has sap 

Bm        E Bm              E     
I sank into these banks of clay 
D 
I just get carried, so carried, carriedâ?¦ 

G                  Em    Bm           Abm                           G      
Those rooms were freezing and always dark but where we were never mattered 
G               Em               Bm                Abm                     G 
Your head was golden, there was lightning in your arms and then the glass shattered. 

A                  F#m      A                  F#m 
It was noon at midnight., the day that never ends 
A              F#m    A             F#m   
The lamp it whispers and makes amends 

Bm             E    Bm              E  
everything was more than I took it for. 
D                                          A    F#m  (Repeat) 
I just get carried, so carried, carried away.
