[Verse 1]
D
Well, you fight like the devil to
A
Just keep your head above water
A
Chained to whatever you got
D
That you can't throw away
D
And you're shooting through space
A
On that river of life that you're riding
A
And it's swirling and sucking you
D
Deeper on down everyday
[Chorus 1]
G
So you turn to your trusty old partner
D
To share some old feelings
A
And you find to your shock that
D
Your faithful companion is gone. (So long, Tonto)
G
And the truth slowly dawns that you're
D
Lost and alone in deep water
A
And you don't even know how much longer
Bm
There is to go on.

[Verse 2]
D
Like an old Holy Bible you've clung to
A
For so many seasons
A
With the rules of survival in words
D
You could still understand
D
When they proved something wrong
A
You believed in so long you go crazy
A
And you're so close to foldin' the cards
D
That you hold in your hand
[Chorus 2]
G D
Singing, "Holy Toledo! I can't see the light anymore!"
A D
"All those horizons that I used to guide me are gone."
G D
"And the darkness is driving me farther away from the shore."
A Bm
Throw me a rhyme or a reason to try to go on.
