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)
