          C
Well, the anchor has been tested
 
I guess we’ll stay put for awhile
          F
I put the fire where it wanted
            Fm
Watched the water become dry
     Em
Once more, I was lost in thoughts that were not mine
       G
When I looked up, they were lost upon the tide
    C
And now I’m just an island in these systems of silence
    F                            Fm
And as I drift around, I’m still bound to find the frowns
       Em                 Am             Em        G
On the faces of my friends,    until the metronome ends..


F                 Em
  These windblown eyes
Dm                   C
  Finding it hard to see
F                     Em
  There’s no straight lines
Dm                 C
  Out on this open sea
F             Em
  No way back home
Dm               C
  Only places to be
F                 Em
  It’s a wondrous world
Dm                         C
  But it’s got the best of me


                 F    Em   Dm    C
Got the best of,   oh-oh, oh-oh..
                 F    Em   Dm   C
Got the best of,   oh-oh, oh-oh..

As if it was a given, I let the rhythm ease my mind
             F                                     Fm
I pulled the cold out of the dark and I poured the darkness on the light
             Em
But I wanted more
 
Don’t we all dissolve into the night
        G
Only to wake up
          G
In the morning untied?
    C
And all the blessed pieces
 
Well, they have been dust now for some time
        F
And the rest, it carries on
    Fm
All imperfect and just fine
               Em
Another season gone
               Am
Do I belong to them, or they to me?
          Em
Do the reflections
              Am
Belong to the stars or to the sea?
         Em
How do I let go
         G
Of yesterday and yet to be?..


F                 Em
  These windblown eyes
Dm                   C
  Finding it hard to see
F                     Em
  There’s no straight lines
Dm                 C
  Out on this open sea
F             Em
  No way back home
Dm               C
  Only places to be
F                 Em
  It’s a wondrous world
Dm                         C
  But it’s got the best of me

Well, the anchor has been lifted
 
I won’t be back here for a while
           F
I put his ashes where he wanted
      Fm
And I kept some by my side
