C            F#    C    G2
As I'm leaving
           C       F#     C     G2
a change comes on my eyes
C                   F#      C    G2
these streets persuading me
             C              F#     C          G2
with mumbled strange goodbyes

                C2
and through the water
                 D
through the ring
           Am7           G
to the soul of everything
           C2               D2
throw my heart out on the stones
                   C   F#   C  G2
and I'm almost gone
 

C            F#    C    G2
and there's no meaning
           C       F#     C     G2
in clothes and coffee cups
C                   F#      C    G2
cheap hotel furniture
            C              F#     C          G2
where silence never stops

 
                 C2
and through the water
                 D
through the ring
           Am7           G
to the soul of everything
           C2               D2
throw my heart out on the stones
                   C   F#   C  G2
and I'm almost gone

I'm alomst
(musical interlude- played as the verse)

C            F#    C    G2
and now I'm dreaming
           C       F#     C     G2
I'm staring at the walls
C                   F#      C    G2
cars all frozen now
            C              F#     C          G2
in late night waterfalls

                 C2
and through the water
                 D
through the ring
           Am7           G
to the soul of everything
           C2               D2
throw my heart out on the stones
                   
and I'm almost
                 C2
and through the water
                 D
through the ring
           Am7           G
to the soul of everything
           C2               D2
throw my heart out on the stones
                   C   F#   C  G2
and I'm almost gone
(verse played again)
