Hozier - Through Me (The Flood)

[Intro]
F#m D F#m C#
D F#m D F#m

[Verse 1]
F#m
Picture a man
F#m
Seen like a spec out from the shore
D
Swimming out beyond the breakers
F#m
Like he’s done his life before
E C#
He feels a coming of a squall
D F#m
Will drag him out a greater length
D F#m
But knows his strength, and tries to gather it

[Verse 2]
F#m
And he swims on
F#m
Turning back to shore again
D
Above the outer atmosphere
F#m
Of a world he’s never seen
E C#
And looking down to his new home
D F#m D
He feels the rising of a wave and knows at once
F#m E C#
He will not weather it like that man

[Pre-Chorus]
C# D F#m D
I lookеd down into the depths when I mеt you
D
I couldn’t measure it

[Chorus]
F# A
Anytime I’d struggled on
D F#
Against the course out on my own
E C# D F#m
Every time I’d burn through the world, I’d see
C# E F#m
That the world, it burns through me
F#
But when I (I), I’d let go (I’d let go)
D
My struggling form (My struggling form)
F#m
My willing soul (I’d see)
E C#
Every time (Each time)
D F#m
Would flow through the world, I’d see
C# E
That the world (The world)
F#m
It flows through me (It flows through me)
C# E F#m
That the world, it flows through me

[Instrumental Break]

F#m D E F#m E C# D F#m E F#m

[Verse 2]
F#m
Picture a grave
F#m
Picture six feet freshly dug
D
The sharp temporary walls
F#m
At the long-term cliff edge of the world
E C#
Light and air find some new deepness there
D F#m
And usher down the sky
F#m Dmaj7 F#m
Where one stands by and tries to make sense of it

[Verse 3]
F#m
But try measure loss
F#m
Measure the silence of a house
D
The unheard footsteps at the doorway
F#m
The unemployment of the mouth
E C#
The waking up, having forgotten
D F#m D
And remembering again the full extent
F#m
Of what forever is

[Pre-Chorus]
E C#
With each grave
D F#m D
I think of loss and I can only think of you
F#m
And I couldn’t measure it

[Chorus]
F# A
Anytime I’ve struggled on (Struggled on)
D
Against the course (Against the course)
F#
Out on my own (I’d see)
E C#
Every time (Each time)
D F#m
I’d burn through the world, I’d see
C#
That the world (The world)
E F#m
It burns through me (Burns through me)
F#
But when I (I), I’d let go (I’d let go)
D
My struggling form (My struggling form)
E F#m
My willing soul (I’d see)
E C#
Every time (Each time)
D F#m
Would flow through the world, I’d see
C#
That the world (The world)
E F#m
It flows through me (It flows through me)
C# E F#m
That the world, it flows through me
