Standard Tuning
[Verse]
G
When I looked up from the ground
C G
The moon blocked out the clouds
G D
The crowd control wasn’t keeping me at bay
G
Like a spider in the drain
C G
I swam and screamed and swayed
G D G
Raised my arms and hoped to hear you say
[Chorus]
G
Turn it over dark of night
C G
Sit me up in the morning light
G D
Tomorrow I’ll wish that I had died
G Em
Sweep the floors, prop the chairs
C G
And leave me lying here
G D G
Watching as the waters all run dry
[Verse]
G
In the east the daylight broke
C G
But my eyes they burned and smoked
G D
With thoughts of some Sunday left behind
G
Spilling cubes from the glass
C G
Rising slow and falling fast
G D G
Yes, I guess the years have not been kind
[Chorus]
G
Turn it over dark of night
C G
Sit me up in the morning light
G D
Tomorrow I’ll wish that I had died
G Em
Sweep the floors, prop the chairs
C G
And leave me lying here
G D G
Watching as the waters all run dry
[Solo]

[Verse]
G
There’s fog all around the lens
C G
And I’ve not seen you since
G D
We lay upon the Dominion’s mighty bones
G
While the Devil worked the fields
C G
Deliver us Lord from all evil
G D G
Because each of us has cast our own stones
[Verse]
N.C.
Turn it over dark of night
N.C.
Prop me up in the morning light
G D
Tomorrow I’ll pray to God that I’m alive
G
Lock the doors, run down the stairs
C G
I’ll strain my ears to hear
G D G
You calling as the waters all run dry
G D
You calling as the waters all run....
D
They all run...
D
They all run...
C
Dry
