Verse 3:

E 
I sing myself to sleep 
A               B 
A song from the darkest hour 
E 
Secrets I can't keep 
A             B 
Inside of the day 

E 
I swing from high to deep 
A           B 
Extremes of sweet and sour 
E 
Hope that God exists 
A         B 
I hope, I pray 

E 
Drawn by the undertow 
A                 B 
My life is out of control 
E                                A                B 
I believe this wave will bear my weight so let it flow 



E 
Oh sit down 
E 
Oh sit down

Oh sit down 
A                B 
Sit down next to me

Sit down down down down down in sympathy 

Verse 4:

E 
Now I'm relieved to hear 
           A              B 
That you've been to some far out places 
      E 
It's hard to carry on 
         A        B 
When you feel all alone 

E 
The wisdom that I seek 
           A              B 
Has been found in the strangest places 
E 
Feels a lot like love 
           A              B 
That I feel for you 

E 
Now I've swung back down again 
       A                 B 
It's worse than it was before 
     E 
If I hadn't seen such riches 
         A               B 
I could live with being poor
