Intro: G   C   G   C 

C          C/B  Am 
Oh country down  
G                           C 
Where I found my proving ground  
C           C/B  Am 
All along the floodline  
G                    C 
Wheels are turning around  
G                         C 
The hills roll out like centuries  
G                  C 
Pass by without a sound  
G        F    Am          G 
Just a mile outside of town  

C       C/B  Am 
Downriverbound  
G                                  C 
Where the limit to your sky fell down  
C           C/B  Am 
A plot against your will  
G                       C 
Is furrowed into your brow  
G                      C 
Against your better judgment  
G                     C 
It's all behind you now  
G       F     Am          G 
Just a mile outside of town  

D                     F  
What's the use in being found  
Am                             G 
When you can lose yourself in some good ground?  
D                           F 
In the weeds hiding downriver right next door  
Am             
There's no frame around your picture  
G 
Just a view through my back door  

C      C/B  Am    G   C  (2x)

G       F   Am      G 

C        C/B  Am 
Time evermore  
G                                     C 
You just found what you're looking for  
C          C/B  Am        G                C 
A tiger rose growing through your prison door  
G              C             G         C 
Reaching for sunlight, can't see it anymore  
G        F    Am           G 
Just a mile from my back door  

D                         F 
You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun  
Am 
On a ladder up to the sky  
G 
You're standing on the lowest rung  
D                     F 
Holding a lifeline, using my best defense  
Am                       G 
Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against  

C      C/B  Am 
Oh lay me down  
G                             C 
Where we found my proving ground  
C           C/B  Am 
All along the floodline  
G                    C 
Waves are turning around  
G                       C 
The hills roll out like centuries  
G                    C 
Pass by without a sound  
G       F  Am            G       
Just a mile outside of town
