C

Verse:
C
Draw the curtain, look, you're only sleeping
C
Or is this only what the other you is dreaming?
       F
Either way
        C
Hard to take


Chorus:
      F#dim7                     Fm
Ashen features unmistakably your own
         C                           D7
Familiar posture, recast in skin and bone
       Dm7                 Fm        C
Person from today, here is you in 2082

Verse:
            C
Remove your helmet, first equalize the pressure
        C
No, but first, take readings to be sure
                  F
The atmosphere is safe
          C
Yes, it's safe


Chorus:
       F#dim7                         Fm
As the ancient one cranes his neck to look
            C                           D7
You see his hand's been replaced with a hook
         Dm7                     Fm            C
But it's clear you're very much alive. It's 2105.


Bridge:
           D#
No, it's 2240
           G#
No, it's 3415
                     D7
How can you still be living?
               D7   G7
What does this mean?


Verse:
         C
You must honor and respect the older fellow
     C
Even as you suffocate him with his pillow
           F
Though you're strong
       C
He was wise


Chorus:
         F#dim7                      Fm
There is much you can learn from the sage
                  C                                 D7
And though you'll leave and travel back to your own age
         Dm7             Fm     C     D7
You will meet again, you two in 2082


Chorus:
             F#dim7                      Fm
What was the look he gave intended to convey?
          C                               D7
Was there something else he was trying to say?
        Dm7                Fm        C
It will all be revealed to you in 2082
