Into  the flood  again
Same  old trip it was  back then
So  I made a big  mistake
Try  to see it once  my way
 go back to the opening riff and play it once, then move on to the second verse,
 just like the first, different lyrics:
  Drifting bodies Sole desertion Flying not yet quite the notion
D-----------------------------------2-------------------------------------2-|
 A-2h4~2h4~2-2~~~----2h3~2h3~2-2~~~-2--2h4~2h4~2-2~~~------2h4~2h4~2-2~~~-2--|

Same  old trip it was  back then
So  I made a big  mistake
Try  to see it once  my way
 go back to the opener riff, then to the third chorus:
Into  the flood  again
Same  old trip it was  back then
So  I made a big  mistake
Try  to see it once  my way
 now it's on to the bridge and the outro:
Am  I wrong? Have  I run too far  to get home?
Have  I gone? Left  you here alone.
Am  I wrong? Have  I run too far  to get home?
Have  I gone? Left  you here alone.
If I would, could you?
 That's the "bomb track", good tune, I play it out all the time acoustic and with
 the band, get noticed get "chains", alice in chains!
