[Intro]
G D Am Em (play this 3 times)
G D Am
[Verse]
G D Am Em
And then the past recedes
G D Am Em
And I won't be involved
G D Am Em
The effort to be free
G D Am Em
Seems pointless from above
G D Am Em
Yor're looking down at' me
G D Am Em
I'd rather stay below
G D Am Em
Than have you staring up at me
G D Am B
Theres nowhere I want to goooooooo
C D7 Em D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C D7 Em
Why to be here you've first got to die
D
So I gave it a try
C G
And what do you know
Am D7
Time was so long ago
G D Am Em
And thinks come back you see
G D Am Em
To where they don't belong
G D Am Em
And every drop of sea
G D Am B
Is the whole ocean oooooooohhh
C D7
I lied to the greatest thieves
Em D
About anything and everything
C D7 Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm our of reach
C G
I can't play it safe
Am D7
But I might just in case
[Here John plays a solo]
C D7 Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D
I'm working man
C D7
I dont understand why clockout
Em D
Comes so slow every time
C G Am
That's one line I stay right behind
C G Am B
That's one line I stay right behind
[Outro]
G D Am Em (3 times)
G D Am B G
