 Play it along with the song to get the strumming or just play the chords (cd
 version, live will probably have a different order/more repeats)
 I can't tell you how accurate this is but it sounds pretty close to me
I  cut corners  on the  carpets now.
I  danced  quarters on the  windowsill.
The  summer left  me to a different  fate.
This  drastic urge  will take some  time to find its  weight.
I  run head  on into traffic  in the  afternoon.
I  log the longest  miles alone  at night inside  my room.
Where  all directions  lead right back  to me;
all  my ambitions  swim like driftwood  through
 my dark  sea of sleep.
And  it'll take some time,  Yeah it will  take some time
 but the dawn will come,
 yeah the tide will rise.
Her  eyes swelled  up in the bars  of soft lights.
I  drank and watched  her laugh and  then we sang out loud in  the dying streets
And  I was so  drunk my heart floated  like a  feather in the breeze.
I  got so high  off all the blinking  lights, the colors  painted in the night.
Midsummer Classic  blue and gold-  Our City casts  it's shadow.
The  kettle boil  heads for a roll.  Sundowning's never  getting old.
And  underneath  this crooked moon  I can smell the night  begin to bloom,
the  northern wind  will change again  and my geography  will bend
back  and forth  across the map  until I reach  the end.
back  and forth  across the map  until I reach  the end.
And  it'll take some  time,  And  it'll take some  time
But  the dawn will come-
yeah  the tide will  rise.

[D9] [Dsus4] [D9] [Eb] [Bm]

[D9]I cut c[Eb]orners on th[Bm]e carpets now.
[D9]I danced[Eb] quarters on the[Bm] windowsill.
[D9]The summer left[Eb] me to a differen[Bm]t fate.
[D9]This drastic [Eb]urge will take som[Bm]e time to find it[Eb]s weight.

[D9] [Dsus4] [D9]

[D9]I run [Eb]head on into [Bm]traffic in th[Eb]e afternoon.
[D9]I log the lo[Eb]ngest miles al[Bm]one at night ins[Eb]ide my room.
[D9]Where all dire[Eb]ctions lead right b[Eb]ack to me;
[D9]all my ambi[Eb]tions swim like d[Bm]riftwood through
my [Eb]dark sea of sleep.

[D9] [Dsus4] [D9]

[D9]And it'll take [Eb]some [Bm]time, Yeah it [D9]will take [Eb]some [Bm]time
but the d[D9]awn [Eb]will [Bm]come,
yeah the [D9]tide [Eb]will [Bm]rise.

[D9]Her eyes swe[Eb]lled up in the b[Bm]ars of soft lights.
[D9]I drank and [Eb]watched her laugh and[Bm] then we sang out loud [Eb]in the dying streets
[D9]And I was s[Eb]o drunk my heart [Bm]floated like [Eb]a feather in the breeze.
[D9]I got so [Eb]high off all the b[Bm]linking lights, the co[Eb]lors painted in the night.

[D9] [Dsus4] [D9]

[Bm]Midsummer [Am]Classic blue and gol[G]d- Our City ca[E]sts it's shadow.
[Bm]The kettle b[Am]oil heads for a ro[G]ll. Sundowning's nev[E]er getting old.
[Bm]And underne[Am]ath this crooked m[G]oon I can smell the nig[E]ht begin to bloom,
[Bm]the northern w[Am]ind will change ag[G]ain and my g[E]eography will bend
[Bm]back and f[Am]orth across the [G]map until I re[E]ach the end.
[Bm]back and f[Am]orth across the [G]map until I re[E]ach the end.
[Bm]And it'll take s[Am]ome t[G]ime, A[Bm]nd it'll take so[Am]me ti[G]me
[Bm]But the dawn [Am]will [G]come-
[Bm]yeah the tide [Am]will r[G]ise.
