Intro: EmDCC x2
Verse 1:
EmDC
I know what I want, I know what I want
I want a long life, all kidding aside
EmDC
the rules are the same, as they always were
present's a thought and a piece of mind
EmDC
and i want my girl in my arms when I sleep
Em
breathing in her dreams near the air I breathe
DC
and I wanna dream
Chorus:
EmD
right down to the minute
C
right down to the second, I can feel my every breath unfold
EmD
right down to the minute
C
right down to the second
EmDC
I'm down to the seconds
Verse 2:
EmDC
steady little boat, steady little boat
take me to the shore, take me to the shore
EmDC
take me back home all the way to where I'm from
to the banks of the Illinois
EmDC
show me the house I was raised in
and the woods where I used to play
EmDC
steady little boat take me home cause I'm far away
Chorus x2
and I'm down to the seconds
Bridge:
EmDC
out on this tiny planet, under a bright yellow sun
on an island east of an island
EmDC
just past the Bridge and tunnels, I feel the ground under my shoes
on a street between a couple of avenues
EmDC
and I'll lose it
Chorus x2
EmDC
right down to the minute
EmDC
right down to the second
EmDC
I'm down to the seconds
