The Future That Was
Standard Tuning
G+G 320033
Cadd9Cadd9 x32033
D MajorD xx0232
G+G
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
Cadd9Cadd9
by a moment complete in its happiness
G+G
Far away from the things that we wish to escape
Cadd9Cadd9
that lead us to think we are not awake
G+G
We are ourselves despite ourselves
Cadd9Cadd9
this place gets smaller as the universe swells
Cadd9Cadd9
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually.
Cadd9Cadd9
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
Cadd9Cadd9
And I am not the only life guard who's washed up on the shore
CHORUS:
D MajorD
Wake me up take me out
D MajorD
Calm me down when I'm in doubt
Cadd9Cadd9
And I'm in doubt
Cadd9Cadd9
Everyday
Cadd9Cadd9
And words are like weight with density and shape modifying forms they evaporate
G+G
You can choose the truth you can listen to light
Cadd9Cadd9
you can lead the charge and still loose the fight
G+G
Far be it for me to claim anything
Cadd9Cadd9
for I am just one in a state of being
Cadd9Cadd9
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
Cadd9Cadd9
I am not the only proverb that never really fits
Cadd9Cadd9
And I am not the only Caulfield who's catching more than kids
CHORUS
Cadd9Cadd9
And so it ends as it begins as everything that is infinite ascends
Cadd9Cadd9
Into it's time all things pass all things fade all things last
G+G
You are yourself despite yourself
Cadd9Cadd9
this world grows smaller as the universe swells
Cadd9Cadd9
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually
Cadd9Cadd9
I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write
Cadd9Cadd9
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight
CHORUS
G+G
And it starts like this we crave to be kissed
Cadd9Cadd9
by a moment complete in its happiness
Cadd9Cadd9
We are ourselves, eventually, eventually, eventually
Cadd9Cadd9
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
This is my first ever attempt at this, so please don't hesitate to correct me. I believe
transistion are all in the correct places but I'm not confident I have the chords
especially in the chorus. Thanks
