Verse 1
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
There was a man who used to live by the ocean
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
But he never set foot in the sea
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
It made him nervous that the water was always in motion
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
And he feared the creatures who swam beneath
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
And when I asked him how he'd ended up there
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
Above a world he would never know
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
He said he'd driven all the way across America
Dmaj7sus2 A
And when he got to thе edge therе was nowhere left to go
Chorus 1
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Nowhere left to go
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Nowhere left to go
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Nowhere left to go
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
Nowhere left to go
Verse 2
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
He said that nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
As he quoted Black Kettle's death song
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
The words drifting off into the emptiness
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
Of this great land where we’ve never belonged
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
And while the frontiers are ever-expanding
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
Our living rooms fall into disarray
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
And no one seems interested in fixing what they've broken
Dmaj7sus2 A
They just sweep the pieces into the bushes and slip away
Chorus 2
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Slowly slip away
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Slowly slip away
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Slowly slip away
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
Slowly slip away

Verse 3
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
And now he and I watch the foxglove grow through the clearcut
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
Where a forest once grew high and wild
Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
For what is a funeral without flowers
Dmaj7sus2 A
And ten thousand tombstones reaching for the sky
Chorus 3
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Reaching for the sky
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Reaching for the sky
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A
Reaching for the sky
Asus2 Dmaj7sus2 Dmaj7sus2 A Asus2
Reaching for the sky
