Intro: 
E*    E* 
B/D#* B/D#*
E/C#* E* 
B*    B (8 counts!)

Verse 1:
B                         G#m
I can feel it building up inside
    B/D#                    E
The images that play inside my mind
    F#                                 G#m
The dreams that I've been dreaming all my life
    E                                 B
The colours that live outside of the lines
    F#                              G#m
But dreams aren't all I hide beneath this skin
    B/D#                              E
The cord is cut, the fears and doubts begin
   F#                             G#m
My hope is anchored on the other side
           E                               B
With the colours that live outside of the lines

Chorus 1:
        F#     G#m
And the oceans roar
        E          B
And the wheel's in spin
        F#         G#m
And the old chorus soars
         E                                     B
Bring me back, bring me back to the beginning again

Verse 2:
          F#              G#m
With the corrugated LA harbour stacks
          B/D#                           E
With the weight of these machines across my back
  F#                               G#m
I know a mountain road where time unwinds
        E                             B
But I'm busy living in a single-file line
        F#                               G#m
And it all just sounds like poison on my ears
     B/D#                                    E
The background noise makes your voice so hard to hear
     F#                                  G#m
So I grit my teeth and straighten up my spine
             E                           B
I'm stuck in traffic on a dotted yellow line

Chorus 2:
       F#       G#m
And my heart is yours
      E                       B
And what a broken place it's in
    F#                       G#m
But you're what I'm running for
       E                                 B
And I want to feel the wind at my back again

Bridge:
                       E
Back to the beginning again
                        G#m
Back to the beginning again
   E                                 B
I want to feel the wind at my back again
(B/C#         B/D#)     E
Back to the beginning again
                        G#m
Back to the beginning again
  F#sus4                             (E)
I want to feel the wind at my back again

Interlude: 
E*   E*
G#m* G#m*   
C#m* E* 
B    B

Chorus 2

Bridge (outro):
                       E
Back to the beginning again
                        G#m
Back to the beginning again
   E                                 B
I want to feel the wind at my back again
(B/C#         B/D#)     E
Back to the beginning again
                        G#m
Back to the beginning again
   E*
I want to feel the wind
   E*
I want to feel the wind
   E                                 B
I want to feel the wind at my back again
