intro riff:
E_______________________________D
I woke up this morning in a strange turtle shell
When I moved, my body could be seen
C#m__________B___________________________________E
When I talked -- I fell -- When I walked -- I was somewhere in between
_____________________D_______________________________C#m
Moving in space, moving in time -- Each moment lives, each moment dies
__________________B
When Iooked I heard -- When I listened -- I could see
G_____________A________B
Someone looking -- into -- my eyes
E
Hunger weakened the armor I wore
D
My shell seemed to weigh a ton or more
C#m________________B
When I sat -- I could die -- When I rested -- I could fly
G_____________A______________________E-riff
To the end, the horizon -- "Someone called my name!"
E___A________E________A_____E____A__E______A
I was born with a view of the ocean -- Raised to touch the sun
E_______A_____E___A
Catching animals in the clouds
F#m_______B_____________F#m_________B
Walking barefoot in the grass -- Warm nights of cricket laughs
E__A_____E_____A___E_____A____E____A
Purple and scarlet sky -- Pull me closer to my eye
Laughing alone out loud
F#m______B__________F#M______B
Tasting the days of blue -- Wondering where are you?
C#m___________________A
There's another place to go -- I can feel it, yes I know
F#m______________B
This is the end, the horizon
solo verse: (E-A, E-A)3 __ (F#m-B)2
chorus:
E___A_____E_____A_E___A______E____A
I can feel you looking -- Right through me
That's alright, I'm not really here
F#m__________B
Your mind won't hold me down
I wasn't born to stay on the ground
C#m___________________A
There's another place to go -- I can feel it, yes I know
F#m______________B
This is the end, the horizon
C#m___________________A
There's another place to go -- I can feel it, yes I know
F#m______________B
This is the end, the horizon
