Hozier - Through Me (The Flood): chords

F#m
Picture a man
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

And he swims on
Turning back to shore again
Above the outer atmosphere
Of a world he's never seen
And looking down to his new home
He feels the rising of a wave and knows at once
He will not weather it

C#        D             F#m           D
I looked down into the depths when I met you
D
I couldn't measure it

Chorus:
  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#
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

Picture a grave
Picture six feet freshly dug
The sharp temporary walls
At the long-term cliff edge of the world
Light and air find some new deepness there
And usher down the sky
Where one stands by and tries make sense of it

But try measure loss
Measure the silence of a house
The unheard footsteps at the doorway
The unemployment of the mouth
The waking up, having forgotten
And remembering again the full extent
Of what forever is

With each grave
I think of loss and I can only think of you
And I couldn't measure it

Chorus:
Anytime I've struggled on (When I struggled on)
Against the course (Against the course)
Out on my own (I'd see)
Every time (Each time I)
I'd burn through the world, I'd see
(Burn through the—)
That the world (The world)
It burns through me (It burns through me)
But when I (When I), I'd let go (I'd let go)
My struggling form (My struggling form)
My willing soul (I'd see)
Every time (Each time I)
Would flow through the world, I'd see
(Flow through the—)
That the world (The world)
It flows through me (It flows through me)
That the world, it flows through me
