[Intro]
D F#m G A (x4)
[Verse]
D F#m G A
I've been down thinking about the boat that never ever touches water
D F#m G A
but the ground still moves
D F#m G A
We all move at the speed of sound but time stands still when you're standing 'round
D F#m G A
so where will you stand?
D F#m G A
where will you stand?
[Verse]
D F#m G A
I've been round thinking about the boat that never ever touches water
D F#m G A
and the sound of the waves as they crash against your body
D F#m G A
We all move at the speed of light, the miracle of motion I almost lose my mind
D F#m G A
but what I find is you
D F#m G A
it's you
[Chorus 1]
Em F#m
We're all poor till the day we die
G A
We all learn to read the smoke before we see the fire
Em F#m
without the fire from the sun
G A
we don't see the moon
Em F#m
Tides turns against the sand
G A
and the tides keep turning 'til they cover up the land
Em F#m G A
and soon it will end so where will you
Em F#m G A
and soon it will end so where will you
D F#m G A x4
stand?
[Chorus 2]
Em F#m
We're all poor till the day we die
G A
We all learn to read the smoke before we see the fire

Em F#m
Tides turns against the sand
G A
and the tides keep turning 'til they cover up the land
Em F#m G A
and soon it will end so where will you
Em F#m G A
and soon it will end so where will you
Em F#m G A
