[Verse]
Em G D
Oh, my enemy, you've got company, you're not alone.
Em G D
They're watching over me while each town I pass fades as it folds.
[Chorus]
G Em D
So in the night we might get lost in our fright.
G Em D
So in the day softly we'll flow, floating away.
[Verse]
Em G D
And it pours from the faucet's mouth
Em G D
like our fortune comes flowing out --
Em G D
every word of which, without a doubt,
Em G D
will find us together and together bring us down.
[Verse]
Em G D
They'll tie us down with those fine thin threads
Em G D
and run their knives up and down our skin,
Em G D
until what was in will be out again,
Em G D
above the sea on that sunny ledge.
[Chorus]
G Em D
As in the day softly we'll flow, floating away.
G Em A
And in the night we will get lost, lost in our fright.
Em G D
La la la la la la...
G Em D
And in the day softly we'll flow, floating away.
