G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm (play this 3 times)

 G+G D MajorD A minorAm

 G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
And then the past recedes
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
And I won't be involved
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
The effort to be free
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
Seems pointless from above
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
Yor're looking down at' me
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
I'd rather stay below
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
Than have you staring up at me
G+G D MajorD           A minorAm  BB
Theres nowhere I want to goooooooo

C majorC    D7D7       E minorEm       D MajorD
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C majorC   D7D7          E minorEm
Why to be here you've first got to die
D MajorD
So I gave it a try
  C majorC      G+G
And what do you know
      A minorAm   D7D7
Time was so long ago

G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
And thinks come back you see
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
To where they don't belong
G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm
And every drop of sea
G+G D MajorD           A minorAm  BB
Is the whole ocean   oooooooohhh

 C majorC      D7D7
I lied to the greatest thieves
   E minorEm      D MajorD
About anything and everything
C majorC   D7D7      E minorEm
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D MajorD
I'm our of reach
C majorC        G+G
I can't play it safe
      A minorAm     D7D7
But I might just in case

 [Here John plays a solo:) ]

 C majorC  D7D7      E minorEm
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D MajorD
I'm working man
 C majorC     D7D7
I dont understand why clockout
E minorEm      D MajorD
Comes so slow every time
    C majorC     G+G      A minorAm
That's one line I stay right behind
    C majorC     G+G      A minorAm  BB
That's one line I stay right behind

G+G D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm (3 times)
