Intro - [ A - D - A - E ]
(last time hold the E)


Verse 1
A     E   F#m
I remember the day it came

E    F#m   A  E
Washed everything in a humbling blue

A    E    F#m
Highways and prairies the same

E    F#m    A     E
Drowned in the flood like the prayers that we knew

A    E    F#m
And I lost all track of my time

   E    F#m    A     E
In some other current much faster than mine

A     E    F#m
Took down the trees by the river

E   F#m       A
Like advice that would never be given

[ repeat intro ]
Laid down with my eyes closed
Let all the air out of my nose
Let all my dirt melt to glorious mud
And smiled for a while six feet under the flood

I couldn't find my boots
The water was knee-high
So I laid in my bed
And stared out the window at the dry sky
I woke up underneath
All that was humbled in blue
Realized I was more

E   F#m       E
More comfortable than my mother's stew

Chorus
  A    E  D
I laid back down with my eyes closed

A      E  D
Let all the air out of my nose

A      E   D
Let all my dirt melt to glorious mud

  A         E   A
And smiled for a while six feet under the flood


[repeat intro]
