Biography:
Shearwater is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas, led by multi-instrumentalist and lead singer Jonathan Meiburg
The band was formed by two members of Okkervil River, back-up vocalist and accordion/keyboard player Jonathan Meiburg and singer and guitarist Will Sheff, so they could write quieter songs. Beginning in 2005, Sheff lessened his role in the band, leaving Meiburg as the band's songwriter from Palo Santo on.
Band members today include Jonathan Meiburg

Just some small corrections of hoosebad's version:
The song is in F# Major, here are the chords (for piano players or people who don't like
capos) as you hear them, I play it with capo, for chords with capo see further down.
Intro: F#(/C#) x2 D#m x2 A#m B
F#/C#
When you fall at the rocks
At the bend at the river
D#m
With the blood from your nose
Running hard on your fingers
A#m B
And through the rest of your life
F#(/C#) x2 D#m x2 A#m B
And so on...
D#m
As the World goes racing, suddenly changed
C#
As the shock of the axe, it leaves you trembling
D#m
Like a busting shell in the small of your back
C#
Or a job that's hard on the cast of your little lie
And an animal life was surging away
And you were back on the first chord progression, the entire song consists of those two.
------------
With Capo II it's:
Intro&Verse: E(/B) x2 C#m x2 G#m A
Bridge: C#m B
Have Fun!
