Verse 1:
C#m A E
With every sun that sets I am feeling more
A E B
Like a stranger on a foreign shore
C#m A B A E
With an eroding beach disappearing from under me
C#m A E
And when my mirror speaks it never minces words
A E B
That these eyes don't shine half as bright
C#m A E A E
As they used to do and they haven't for quite a while
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Chorus:
A E
'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds
A E
In a mess of fading lines
A E
And there's a tangled thread inside my head
G#m A
With nothing on either end
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Verse 2:
C#m A E
I always fall in love with an open door
A E B
Or the horizon on an endless sea
C#m A E A E
As I look around the ones who are standing right in front of me
C#m A E
And then my mirror speaks with irreverence
A E B
Like a soldier I can't command
C#m A E A E
It sees the frightened child in the body of a full-grown man
////////////////////////////////////////////////
Chorus 2:

In a mess of fading lines
A E
And there's a tangled thread inside his head
G#m A
With nothing on either end
C#m G#m A
There's nothing on either end
E

When I am standing face to face

I'm a man who hides from all that binds
