Intro: , , ,
I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me
The stories excelled.
And I m drying out
Crying out
This isn t how I go
Repeat intro.
I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life s a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
#5
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I m drying out
Crying out
This isn t how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow
(x2)
Flow, ooo
Flow,
(x2)
Flow, ooo
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
(x2)
But every story I have told is part of me
And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I m drying out
Crying out
This isn t how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow
(x2)
Whoa, whoa...
Flow,
(x2)
Whoa, whoa...
Let it flow, whoa, whoa
Let it flow, whoa, whoa
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
(x2)
But every story I have told is part of me
Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you

So, this is a basic idea of it. Of course, it s just by ear, so have fun with it,
fix up parts you think are different.
