alright , this is by no means supposed to be an actual representation
of what ttmoe does in the album version . i’ve tried to transcribe this
song to standard tuning , yet the artist uses an alternate tuning for
the real thing . consequently , my version will differ from the original
recording here and there , but i’ve done my best for those who don’t
wanna waste a lot of time tuning their guitars . so please take it for
what it is : an interpretation . no more , no less . it is still accurate
enough to play along the original version .

the strumming pattern is pretty important in this song in order to make
it sound right . listen to the song a few times and try playing along ,
i’m sure you’ll get it quickly .

even more , the D chord variations he does really make this song . ttmoe
plays around with D major , Dsus4 and Dsus2 almost anytime you see A
D chord in here , starting in the intro already . once again , listen to
the recording to get it right . now hit it and have fun! : )

capo 4 ( to be in key with original recording )

( intro : ) D – A – Em – D – A

D A
well , ’all is well in order’ is what you thought you heard them say
Em D A
and so you drifted off to see what’s not in yourself
D A
light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains?
Em D
no more nights of what you wrote back then ,
A G D A
no relief of no rain

D A
and so , singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within
Em D A
and telling people lies of lions , treasures , and kings
D A
nothing’s more revealing than the dancer and the doubt
Em D A G
waving to forget what’s never gone , always there , never right

A D A
in all these riots of broken sounds
Em
like the last voice you heard
A D A Em D A
then you drowned , oh lord

D A
you know , this is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails
Em D A
and minnows in your pockets when the rapid’s on trails
D A
this is not the future but i sense it’s right up there
Em D A G
oh , just another hour , another pass , another day anywhere

A D A
in all these riots of broken sounds
Em
and you sleep on the track
A D A Em D A
every night , oh lord

G
and we don’t know if your treasure is safe
A D Bm
where will you be when they find you , son?
G
and you know they’re always following me
A D Bm
so when i get there you trust me son , and just leave ,
A A6 A7
i’ll catch up

D A
this is where you’re passionate of seasons and their strength
Em D A
and this is where you breathe and walk and know they will end
D A
light is turning slowly to the hand upon your chest
Em D A G
so lay it on the plains where there is time , there is love , there is rest

A D A
from all these riots of broken sounds
Em
when you sleep on the track
A D A Em D A
every night , oh lord

( break : ) G – A – A6 – G – A – A6

G
and we don’t know if your treasure is safe
A D Bm
where will you be when they find you , son?
G A
and you know they’re always following me
D
i’ll be the best when the silence comes .
