[Verse]

                     D                                     C
I was on the beach but I was thinking about the bay
                  D                                C
Got to the bay but by then I was far away
                     D                              C
I was on the ground but looking straight into the sun
                    D                                             C
But the sun went down and I couldn't find another one

[Chorus]

        Am
For awhile
                                         C
For because it was an all-burning feeling in my chest
                 Am
To fill the void
                                           C
Of a long night unwatched by, well, the sun
                Am
Until the morn
                                  C
Until when, well, the sun's reborn
                  Am
And so am I
                                         C
From all the scorn buried deep
                                       D    C
Within the psyche of my soul

[Verse 2]

                        D                              C
I was standing down but I was also on the run
          D      C
In my mind

[Verse 3]

                     D                             C
I was on the radio talking with a friend of mine
                           D                            C
There wasn't no format because well, we like it like that
                             D                                        C
He was out of his mind and I was way out of mine
                                    D
Then everything went backwards
                    C
With words coming out
    D
Bassackwards
                    C                                    D      C
And I appreciate him to the utmost degree

I was on the ground but looking straight into the sun
                    D                                              C
But the sun went down and I couldn't find another one

[Chorus 2]

        Am    C
For awhile
                 Am   C
To fill the void
                Am    C
Until the morn

                                    D
Then everything went backwards
                           C
I mean, phrases flying out
  D                          C
Bassackwards, yeah

[Verse 5]

                     D                                  C
I was on the moon but more so, I was in the grass
                           D                             C
So I was chilling out but with a very drifting mind
                          D
So I was on the ground circa planet earth
                 C                                        D
But out of sorts but I snapped back, baby
                       C
Just in time to jot it down and

[Chorus 3]

            Am
Come around
                             C
And it's always to see you
                    Am
And I came around
                      C                                        Am
It's always to see you here when I come around
                                        C
Or when I'm plain come, comin' down

[Verse 6]

                                   D
Then everything goes backwards
                               C               D C
I mean, everything moving out
                                   D
Then everything goes backwards
                               C
I mean, everything oozing out
   D                 C
Bassackwards
                                 D     C
(Strummin' a Chet Atkins)
                         D
I was standing up
                                            C
But you know I hate to still stoop you down
            D     C
To my level
