G G7                           C  C/B Am 
  Can't climb to heaven on the cro----ss
Dm                            G7 
One last promise drained the blood from my heart
     C       C/B    Am 
In a message in the dark
Dm                    Dm/C 
Offered the hand of a disembodied man
        G7 
While I still had the chance

         F      C
Now it’s gone, gone
      F         C
And I am, who I am
      F           C          C/B  Am
Who I was, I will never ever be  again
F                C
  Running out of sand

G   G7                            C  C/B Am
  I stare at my reflection to the bo-----ne
Dm                            G7
Blurred eyes look back at me, full of blame and sympathy
C   C/B Am
So, so --- close
     Dm                        Dm/C
With right roads not taken and futures forsaken
G7
Dropped like a fossil or stone

         F      C
Now it’s gone, gone
      F         C
And I am, who I am
      F           C            C/B   Am
Who I was, I will never ever become again
F                C
  Running out of sand

Em          F
Ohhhh oh-oh-ohhh
  D         G
Ohhhh oh-oh-ohhh

G7                       C  C/B Am
A drunk octopus wants to fi-----ght
Dm                             G7
Fearful of dreams, there’ll be no sleep tonight
        C       C/B       Am
Fine at dinner, dead by dessert
Dm                       Dm/C
Victim or witness, we’re gonna get hurt
  G7
A fragile existence, with echoes of wrath
  Dm                              Dm/C
I can’t stop the bleeding nor the tears in thine eye
        G7
There’s another us somewhere with much better lives
     Dm                     Dm/C              G7
With God as our witness but he won’t testify, ohhhhh

            F      C
Oh now it’s gone, gone
      F         C
And I am, who I am
      F                     C     C/B     Am
Who I could’ve been, I will never have the chance
F                C
  Running out of sand
F                C
  Running out of sand
F                C C/B Am
  Running out of sa----nd
