[Verse 1]
E5 F#m7
I could tell you the wildest of tales
B/D# E5
My friend the giant and travelling sales
E5 F#m7
Tell you all the times that I failed
B/D# E5
The years all behind me The stories excelled
E A/F# A9
And I'm drying out Crying out
A(hold)
This isn't how I go

[Verse 2]
E5 F#m7
I could tell you of a man not so tall
B/D# E5
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
E5 F#m7
Tell you of a girl that I saw
B/D# E5
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
C#9 E B9
And I'm drying out Crying out
A9 C#9
This isn't how I go
E B9
Hurry now Lay me down
A9 B9 C#9 A9 E
And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
B9 C#9 A/F# A9
Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
[Chorus 1]
C#m B A E
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
A/F# C#m A B
But every story I have told is part of me

[Verse 3]
E5 F#m7
And you keep the air in my lungs
B/D# E5
Floating along as a melody comes
E5 F#m7
And my heart beats like timpani drums
B/D# E5
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
C#9 E B9
And I'm drying out Crying out
A9 C#9
This isn't how I go
E B9
Hurry now Lay me down
A9 B9 C#9 A9 E
And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
