Verse 1 (arpeggiate chords throughout first section):

	  [x0222x]           [xx1212]
	You better listen anybody
	                          [2442xx]
	'Cause I'm gonna make it clear
	                   
	That my life is unimportant
	                             
	What I've done I did through fear
	                      
	There's a river running thru me
	                    
	Only tide I tried to hide
	                         
	None the less I could not shake it
	                        
	And in the end it swept aside

	
	All my feeble unimportance
	
	I can't say "never mind"
	                               
	Can't you hear me mother calling you?
	                       
	I'm cold, I'm deaf, I'm blind
	                            
	  And it's only 'cause you're lucky
	                      
	  People know that's no fine
	                        
	I didn't think I'd be an actor
	                      [N..]
	What I am I'll leave behind

[repeat intro]

Verse 2:

	You better listen anybody
	Cause it's me and you that's it
	And in case you find your maker
	Perhaps you'll plea for us a bit
	All my sick is in my stomach
	All my sweat is clearly fear
	And if you could see inside me
	I don't think you'd have me here

	Tell the helmsman veer to starboard
	Bring this ship around to port
	And if the sea was not so salty
	I could sink instead of walk
	And in case a passing stranger
	Who was standing where I fell
	Tell the truth you never knew me
	And in truth it's just as well

Coda:
