C#                        D#m
Out under bright silver skies, I accept it
D#m    Fm         F#           A#m
Quick skip to the end, let you go
 C#                           D#m
Still single frames from our life
D#m              Fm           F#           A#m
Stream before my eyes like a distant slideshow

A#m              F                        A#m
How were we to know the river ever would bend?
A#m                G# G#maj7            C#maj7 Fm
Split apart at the end,    enemies of the ocean

Chorus:
C#                  G#     A#m
Seats on the last flight, sunsets and Moonlight
C#       G#     F#  G#
How were we to know?
C#                 G#     A#m
Best of the first days, Christmas and birthdays
C#       G#     F#                        C#
How were we to know the river ever would bend?
F#                 C#  F#               C#
Split apart at the end,  enemies of the ocean
F#             C#
Enemies of the ocean

   F#                           D#m
In time, when the high will subside
D#m                 A#m                        Fm
Send in the jaws of life, send in the jaws of life
   F#                           D#m
In time, when the high will subside
D#m                 A#m                        G#
Send in the jaws of life, send in the jaws of life

Charm of the off-chance roulette
Set an opening bet so low, seemed like I'd won
Forge that signature, lack of conviction
Combined with commitment so vast
It confounds everyone

How were they to know
The river ever would bend?
Split apart at the end
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean

Chorus:
Seats on the last flight
Sunsets and moonlight
How were we to know
The river ever would bend?
Split apart at the end
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
Enemies of the ocean
