Intro: Em C Em B

Picture a Emman

Seen like a spec out from the shore
Swimming Cout beyond the breakers
Like heʼs done Emhis life before
He feels a Dcoming of a Bsquall
Will drag him Cout a greater lenEmgth
But knows his Cstrength, and tries to gaEmther it

And he swims Emon

Turning back to shore again
Above the outer Catmosphere
Of a Emworld heʼs never seen
And looking Ddown to his new Bhome
He feels the Crising of a Emwave and knows Cat once
He will not Emweather it like that Dman B 

Pre-Chorus:
    I lookеd Cdown into the Emdepths when I mеt Cyou

I couldnʼt measure it

Chorus:
    AnyGtime Iʼd struggled on
    Against the Ccourse out on my Emown
    Every DtimBe Iʼd burn through the Cworld, Iʼd Emsee
    That the Bworld, Dit burns Emthrough me
    But when EmI (I), Iʼd let go (Iʼd let go)
    My struggling Cform (My struggling form)

    EmMy willing soul (Iʼd see)
    Every DtimeB (Each time)
    Would flow through Cthe world, Iʼd Emsee
    That the BworldD (The world)
    It flows Emthrough me (It flows through me)
    That the BworldD, it flows Emthrough me

Instrumental: Em C D Em D B C Em D Em

Picture a Emgrave

Picture six feet freshly dug
The sharp Ctemporary walls
At the long-term Emcliff edge of the world
Light and Dair find some new Bdeepness there
And Cusher down the Emsky
Where one Cstands by and tries to make Emsense of it

But try measure Emloss

Measure the silence of a house
The unheard Cfootsteps at the doorway
The unempEmloyment of the mouth
The waking Dup, having forBgotten
And reCmembering agEmain the full exCtent
Of what forEmever is, with each gDrave B 

Pre-Chorus:
    I think of Closs and I can Emonly think of Cyou
    And I couldnʼt Emmeasure it

Chorus:
    AnyGtime Iʼve struggled on (Struggled on)
    Against the Ccourse (Against the course)
    Out on my Emown (Iʼd see)
    Every DtimeB (Each time)
    Iʼd burn through the Cworld, Iʼd Emsee
    That the Bworld (The world)
    DIt burns Emthrough me (Burns through me)
    But when EmI (I), Iʼd let go (Iʼd let go)
    My struggling Cform (My struggling form)

    EmMy willing soul (Iʼd see)
    Every DtimeB (Each time)
    Would flow through Cthe world, Iʼd Emsee
    That the Bworld (The world)
    DIt flows Emthrough me (It flows through me)
    That the Bworld,D it flows Emthrough me
