E                    A
I could tell you the wildest of 
tales
B                       A        
My friend the giant and 
       E
travelling sales
E                A
Tell you all the times that I failed
B
The years all behind me
A           E
The stories excelled.
C#m            E
And I'm drying out
B
Crying out
A                E
This isn't how I go

E                     A
I could tell you of a man not so 
tall
B                            A   
Who said life's a circus and so 
       E
we are small
E             A
Tell you of a girl that I saw
B                         A
I froze in the moment and she 
              E
changed it all

C#m            E
And I'm drying out
B
Crying out
A               C#m
This isn't how I go
       E
Hurry now
B
Lay me down
A                  
And let these waters 
  B     C#m    A       E
flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
B      C#m    A       E
Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

C#m          B              A   
Son I am not everything you 
                 E
thought that I would be
C#m             E           A   
But every story I have told is 
            B
part of meeeee

E                A
And you keep the air in my lungs
B                   A      E
Floating along as a melody comes
E                       A
And my heart beats like timpani 
drums
B                         A       
Keeping the time while a symphony 
 E
strums
C#m            E
And I'm drying out
B
Crying out
A               C#m
This isn't how I go
       E
Hurry now
B
Lay me down
A                  
And let these waters 
  B     C#m    A       E
flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
B      C#m    A       E
Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
       B     C#m    A       E
Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
       B     C#m    A       E
Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh

C#m          B              A   
Son I am not everything you 
                 E
thought that I would be
C#m             E           A   
But every story I have told is 
            B
part of me
C#m             B           A   
Son I leave you now but you have
                 E
 so much more to do
C#m             E           A   
And every story I have told is 
       B
part of you
