🎸 Verse 1:
F  C      Bb    Gm          Bb            F  C
I know, I waste time, don't know what I'm doing
F    C        Bb  Gm      Bb          C
Past life, to explore, to show what's true
F   C     Bb   Gm       Bb              F  C
Sit down, take time, to show what needs showing
F     C            Bb    Gm             Bb        C
All I showed was a false door, that the dead walk through

🎸 Chorus:
Cm                  D
Thoughts of ancient times
      Dm         C
Gonna open up my head
         Eb                    D7
But it's hard to walk into the future
          F                 C
When your shoes are made of lead


🎸 Verse 2:
F    C     Bb   Gm       Bb                F  C
Slow down, take time, to know what's worth knowing
F    C        Bb    Gm        Bb         C
Walk out, the front door, and see what's new

Dm                           C
 And all this time it was in front of you
Dm                             C
 And all this time you knew it too

Gonna show me where I've been
      Eb                    D7
But I want to walk into the future
        F                 C
And see things I've never seen
Cm                  D
Thoughts of ancient time
     Dm                  C
To remind us where we've been
          Eb                  D7
But we're gonna walk into the future
        F                  C
And see sights we've never seen
