Intro: Main Riff 0:00 - 0:12
Verse: 0:13 - 0:49
    D*
    I imagine long walks down the road
    D*
    Things begin to bloom and the sky explodes
    E
    The damage is undone, and then I know
    G
    This has got to be a dream
    D
    Machines and luxuries don't last
    D
    I took my sleep for granted in the past
    E
    And I woke up half-dead in the hourglass
    G
    Why does that sound funny?
     
Chorus: 0:50 - 1:04
    D          F#/G
    Wait, you're almost there it's gone
    You're almost there it's gone
    You're almost where
    E                  G
    What follows you, does not bother you
     
Main Riff: 1:05 - 1:11Verse: 1:12 - 1:48
    D*
    I have walked the tightrope parts of me
    D*
    I towed the line just far enough to see
    E
    I never found a gift you get for free
    G
    You pay for them dearly
    D*
    I see my forever as one long night
    D*
    If I can make it dark then I can make it light
    E
    I know that most of living done is done in the mind
    G
    Only thought survives
     
Chorus: 1:49 - 2:03
    D           F#/G
    Wait, you're almost there it's gone
    You're almost there it's gone
    You're almost where
    E                  G
    What follows you, does not bother you
     
Break: 2:04 -2:28
    B-
    Are you tired?
    E
    Are you uninspired?
    G
    Has the miscommunication tried
    F#
    To eat you up inside
    B-
    I am here,
    E
    and you are here
    G
    And everything I want to know
    A
    Sleeps between your ears
     
Chorus: 2:29 - end
    D         F#/G
    Wait, you're almost there it's gone
    You're almost there it's gone
    You're almost where
    E                  G
    What follows you, does not bother you
