D                                A
Tried to face up to the blinding sun

      Bm
Racing for the final word to come

             G        G/F#
Facing up is hard, to stay devout

        D       A                     G
I can't see the sand and it's running out

D                G
And it's running out

D                                   A
We quote each other only when we're wrong

                Bm
We tear out the threads and move along

              G    G/F#
Can't seem to find common ground

        D       A                     Em
I can't see the sand and it's running out

            A
It was only circumstances

             D
But it's the difference

                A
It gets in the way

           Em          A
No race is run in this direction

                D
You can't break even

          A             Bm
You can't even quit the game

 D  G  D    A  Bm  G  D  A  G  D  G

D
The current drags to the bottom

                  A
A hemorrhage that moves us around

          Bm
Pulls and beckons, strong direction

           G       G/F#
High water forever bringing us down

        D       A                     G
I can't see the sand and it's running out

D            G
It's running out

Em          A
It was only circumstances

             D
But it's the difference

               A
It gets in the way

           Em          A
No race is run in this direction

                D
You can't break even

          A             G     D
You can't even quit the game
