[Verse 1]
(main riff)

Do you see the way that tree bends
does it inspire,
leaning out to catch the suns rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this
all encompassing trip


[Chorus]

D2 (slide)                         G
You can't spend your time alone,
F                                G         D        G        F
redigesting past regrets.....Oh
G - D                            G
You can't come to terms  and realise
F                                                    D        G         F
your the only one who cannot forgive yourself .....Oh
            D
Makes much more sense,
G - F                        D
to live in the present tense


[2nd verse:]
(main riff)

Have you ideas on how this life ends,
Checked your ends and studied the line,
Have you ever believed that the road ahead
sands off into the light
seems that needlessly it getting harder
to find an approach and no where to live
are we getting something out of this
all encompassing trip

[Chorus]

D2 (slide)                         G
You can't spend your time alone,
F                                G         D        G        F
redigesting past regrets.....Oh
G - D                            G
You can't come to terms  and realise
F                                                    D        G         F
your the only one who cannot forgive yourself .....Oh
            D
Makes much more sense,
G - F
to live in the present tense

[Outro]
