INTRO:
[Riff]
VERSE 1 (Riff 2x as so):
[D] Spend A [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] million dream days
[D] Shook the [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] hand of time, served Gods
[G] Waited [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] around the display
[G] Saw no [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] revelation
No [D] good to [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] go feet first
All dis-[D]-traction and [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] hesitation
With A [G] bucket [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] for the leakage
[G] Brackish [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] feelings to bail out
INSTRUMENTAL:
[Riff]
VERSE 2 (Riff 2x):
Living it up on the downside
Living out what's inside
Taking it at full stride
Taking it
Here's one for you
Leave one for me
Don't mind and don't regret it
Forget what's gone and here's your warning
BRIDGE:
[E] Bring it [Esus4] down and [E] break it
[Gsus2] in [G]
CHORUS (Riff 2x):
Casting it out
Reeling it in
Living on blind hope
Again
Casting it out
Reeling it in
Living on blind hope
Again
INSTRUMENTAL (over spoken word):
[Riff] (8x)
