From ”Standing at the Gates: The Songs of Nada Surf's Let Go" 2018


Capo 2nd. ( org key. F#m)

 Em        F#m        G           A
Sitting on a train, reading a book
 Em        F#m        G           A
Same damn planet every time I look
 Em        F#m        G           A
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
 Em        F#m        G           A
Only works when i'm dead asleep
 Em        F#m        G           A
Been thinking and drinking all over the town
 Em        F#m        G           A
Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown

Am C.  G  . . . . .
All I am is, a body floating downwind 

All I am is, a body floating downwind 

What's wrong?
-Nothing
-Are you sure nothing's wrong?
-Yeah
-But you're sad about something?
-Yeah
-So tell me what
-I don't know
I can't tell you I can't tell you 
I can't tell you I can't tell you 


All i am is a body floating down-wind
All i am is a body floating down-wind

Sitting on a train, reading a book
Same damn planet every time i look
Try to relax and slow my heartbeat
Only works when i'm dead asleep
Been thinking and drinking all over the town
Must be gearing up for some kind of melt-down



Em                           A
As the express train passes the local
          D                Em
It moves by just like a paper boat
Em                           A
Although it weighs a million pounds
          D                Em
I swear it almost seems to float
Em                           A
And as we pass by each other
    F#m               Bm
Our heads all full of bother
         Em             A
We can't look, we can't stop
         F#m             Bm
We can't think, we can't stop
             Em           A
Because we're stuck in our own paths
             F#m           Bm
And it's the way it always lasts
            Em                A             D
But I need something more from you

(Am C G  . . . . . . 

All I am is, a body floating downwind

All I am is, a body floating downwind floating downwind...
