Intro
Bm D E (4x)

Verse 
A                   D                     E
Falling all over myself to retrace whats left.
A                       D                       E
Looking back at all the pieces is getting to my head.
A                    D                        E
Like a thousand tiny footprints buried in the sand…
         Dbm7  D                    E  
As if to say, “Things work out this way.”

Chorus
E         A              D       A
Watch the water, pour it over my soul.
D       A                     Bm         E
When it falls, the rocks will scatter my bones.
        E             A               D                     A
Let the waves take me out to sea, the tide will have what’s left of me.
C                  G            D       (Short lick)
And I will find my purpose once again.
C             G        Bm   D  E
I will find my purpose…once again.

Bm D E (4x)

Verse
A                    D                            E                                    
Walking out on to a ledge where nobody else could see.
A                             D                               E
Each choice is leading to the moment, and a chance to let our steps decide the way.
A                          D                     E
Blindly give up everything, never know or reason why.
Bm      A                 E
Circles fading in to distant skies…
