       Verse 1:

       E                                     A             B

       I sing myself to sleep              A song from the darkest hour

       E                                     A           B

       Secrets I can't keep                Inside of the day

         E                                    A        B

       I swing from high to deep           Extremes of sweet and sour

       E                                     A      B

       Hope that God exists                I hope I pray

       E                                      A             B

       Drawn by the under tow              My life is outa' control, if I

       E                                A                B

         believe this wave will bear my weight so let it flow

              E                                      A                B

       Verse 2:

       E                                               A            B

       Now I’m relieved to hear            That you've been to some far out places

            E                                       A        B

       It's hard to carry on               When you feel all alone

       E                                            A                 B

       Now I've swung back down again      And it's worse than it was before, if I

       E                                           A               B

       hadn't seen such riches             I could live with being poor

       Those who find they're touched by madness         Sit down next to me

       E                                                 A                B

       Those who find themselves ridiculus               Sit down next to me

          E                                          A               B

       In love in fear in hate in tears           In love in fear in hate

          E                                          A               B
