In Corolla chords

[E]the day I turned my [D]back on all you [A]people
[E]I felt an [D]itching in my [A]thumbs.
[C#m]salt air like a [E7]broadcast from the [F#m]distant, dark [B7]beyond
[A] [D] [A] (Bbmaj7/A) [A]
when my transformation comes.

I went down to the warm, warm water
saw a pelican fly past
waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me
I went wading through the grass.

[Bm]and no one was [Bbmaj7]gonna come and [Amaj7]get me.
[Bm]there wasn't an[Bbmaj7]ybody gonna [Amaj7]know.
[F#m]even though I [D]leave a trail of [C#7]burnt things in my [F#m]wake
[A] [D] [A] (Bbmaj7/A) [A]
every single place I go.

and it was cool, and it was quiet
in the humid marsh down there.
i let my head sink down beneath the brackish water,
felt it gumming up my hair.

the sun was sinking into the atlantic
the last time that I turned my back on you.
I tried to summon up a little prayer as I went under
it was the best that I could do.

and I said,
"let them all fare better than your servant",
the reeds all pricking at my skin.
"here's hoping they have better luck than i had down here with you"
all that water rushing in.
