C C/G F7(13)
Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place
F/G Am
Dreamed to discover a new space
Am/G F7(13)
And buried himself alive
C C/G F7(13)
Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face meant
F/G Am
He's working away on displacement
Am/G F7(13)
And what it would take to survive
Dm Dm/C G
'Cause when you're done with this world
Dm Dm/C G
You know the next is up to you
C F G
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
C F G
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
C F
But with a will to work hard
Am D
And a library card
F G C
He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride

C C/G F7(13)
That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it
F/G Am
Waves as big as he'd seen it
Am/G F7(13)
Deep in his dreams at home
C
From dry land
C/G F7(13)
He rolled it over to wet sand
F/G Am
Closed the hatch up with one hand
Am/G F7(13)
And peddled off alone
Dm Dm/C G
'Cause when you're done with this world
Dm Dm/C G
You know the next is up to you
C F G
And for once in his life it was quiet
C F G
As he learned how to turn in the tide
C F
And the sky was a flare
Am D
When he came up for air
F G C
In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride

C
One evening
C/G F7(13)
When weeks had passed since his leaving
F/G Am
The call she'd planned on receiving
Am/G F7(13)
Finally made it home
C
She accepted
C/G F7(13)
The news she'd never expected
F/G Am
The operator connected
Am/G F7(13)
A call from Tokyo
Dm Dm/C G
'Cause when you're done with this world
Dm Dm/C G
You know the next is up to you
C
Now his friends
F G4 G G9 G4
Bring him up when they're drinking
C F G4 G G4
At the bar with his name on the side
C F
And they smile when they can
Am D
As they speak of a man
F G C
Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
( C F F5(9) )
( C F F5(9) )
( C F F5(9) )
