Chords
Capo 6
W[C]alt Grace, desperately hating his wh[F]ole place
Dreamed to discover a new space[Am]
And buried himself alive [F]
Inside his [C]basement, tongue on the side of his face meant[F]
He's working away on displacement[Am]
And what it would take to survive[F]
'C[F]ause when you're done with thi[Am]s world[G] [F]
You know the n[Am]ext is up to y[G]ou
And his w[C]ife told his kids[F] he was crazy[G]
And his friends s[C]aid he'd fail if he tried[F] [G]
But with a w[C]ill to work ha[F]rd
And a l[Am]ibrary c[D]ard
He took a h[F]omemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ri[G]de[C]
That m[C]orning, the sea was mad and I mean it[F]
Waves as big as he'd seen it[Am]
Deep in his dreams at home[F]
From [C]dry land
He rolled it over to wet sand[F]
Closed the hatch up with one hand[Am]
And peddled off alone[F]
'C[F]ause when you're done with thi[Am]s world[G] [F]
You know the [Am]next is up to y[G]ou
And for [C]once in his l[F]ife it was q[G]uiet
As he l[C]earned how to [F]turn in the [G]tide
And the [C]sky was a f[F]lare
When he came up [Am]for air[D]
In his h[F]omemade, fan-blade, one-man submar[G]ine ride[C]
One [C]evening
When weeks had passed since his leaving[F]
The call she'd planned on receiving[Am]
Finally made it ho[F]me
She accepte[C]d
The news she'd never expected[F]
The operator connected[Am]
A call from Tokyo[F]
'C[F]ause when you're done with thi[Am]s world[G] [F]
You know the [Am]next is up to y[G]ou
Now his f[C]riends
Bring him up when [F]they're drinking[G]
At the b[C]ar with his name on[F] the side[G]
And they s[C]mile when they c[F]an
As they speak[Am] of a man[D]
Who took a h[F]omemade, fan-blade, one-man sub[G]marine ride[C]
