Dm
Go your way,
               C
I'll take the long way 'round,
             A#
I'll find my own way down,
      Dm
As I should.

Dm
And hold your gaze
                     C
There's coke in the Midas touch
               A#
A joke in the way that we rust,
             Dm
And breathe again.

            F        C 
And you'll find loss
                          Dm
And you'll fear what you found
      F            C 
When weather comes
         Dm
Tearing down

Chorus:
            Gm           F
There'll be oats in the water
            Dm             C
There'll be birds on the ground
             Gm              F
There'll be things you never asked her
            Dm           C
Oh how they tear at you now

Go your way
I'll take the long way 'round
I'll find my own way down
As I should

And hold your gaze
There's coke in the Midas touch
A joke in the way that we rust
And breathe again

And you'll find loss
And you'll fear what you found
When weather comes
Tearing down
