    [Intro]
F C F C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C           F      C
More than I had in mind
C           F      C
More than I wish I knew
             F       Em
And now it’s near on me
     G           Dm
Some rush of red fear
       F         C          F         C
And my worst old times look fine from here
 
 
[Verse 2]
C          F           C
I know you walked this route
C              F       C
And you might help me out
C               F       Em
You said what's done is done
        G              Dm
I can't turn the hand 'round
    F        C       F        C     F
But still it looks a long way down
 
 
[Chorus]
F  Em          Dm               C
Oh man, was it that much better then?
        A#                    F           C     F
We were left alone, we were proud of our pain
F      Em        Dm              C
And so I want to walk out in the night
        A#          F           C
See the wide young river flood rain
 
 
[Verse 3]
C            F            C
We're not on one straight line
          F       C
I made my own way through
             F          Em
And when the track goes cold
     G              Dm
I'll know that it's true
       F           C            F      C
That rebirth won't work like it used to
 
 
[Chorus]
F   Em         Dm               C
Oh man, was it that much better then?
        A#                   F            C     F
We were left alone, we were proud of our pain
F      Em        Dm              C
And so I want to walk out in the night
        A#          F           C
See the wide young river flood rain
 
 
[Interlude]
Am F G Em F
 
F
And I can't let go
Am
Of a lot I've left
F
I'm holding nothing
Am             G Em
But what I kept
Em
And it all got dimmer
G
Each passing step
F
And I need you with me
Am
And you read the writ
F
Are you now insisting
Am                 G Em
Is it not worth it?
Em
But I've got no option
G                        Am Em C   Am Em C
I inherited this and I'm overcome
 
F C G Am F
Am Em C
G C G Am F
 
 
[Outro]
F      Em7           Dm                C
That's that, we're a long way from the past
        A#              F          C
I'll be better off in a year or in two
