Intro: F# E x2 
 
 
verse 1 
 
F#               E 
   Not of this world 
             F# 
Lean as a shadow 
            E 
I was in Perth 
               F# 
When I was gathered 
               E 
Blood on the sand 
               F# 
Paint on the water 
             E 
I skipped around 
Asking for you 
 
 
Chorus 
 
F# E D#m G#m x2 
 
 
verse 1 
 
F# E 
F# 
Last night I combed the earth 
    E 
You saw me at my worst 
F# 
Ragged tires burn for miles 
  E 
I ran until it hurt 
F# 
Reasons come seasonal 
     E 
I'll tell you when I know 
 
 
Chorus 
 
F# E D#m G#m x2 
 
 
Outro 
 
F#                E 
   See you in an hour 
              F# 
An hour back home 
               E 
See you in an hour 
              F# 
An hour back home 
               E 
See you in an hour 
              F# 
An hour back home 
               E 
See you in an hour 
              F# 
An hour back home
