The past recedes

G D Am Em x3
G D Am


G D Am Em
And then the past recedes
G D Am Em
And I wont be involved
G D Am Em
The effort to be free
G D Am Em
Seems pointless from above
G D Am Em
Youre looking down at me
G D Am Em
Id rather stay below
G D Am Em
Than have you staring up at me
G D Am B
Theres nowhere I want to goooooooo


C D7 Em D
Ay this business of how long we try to stay alive
C D7 Em
Why to be here youve first got to die
D
So I gave it a try
C G
And what do you know
Am D7
Time was so long ago


G D Am Em
And thinks come back you see
G D Am Em
To where they dont belong
G D Am Em
And every drop of sea
G D Am B
Is the whole ocean oooohhh


C D7
I lied to the greatest thieves
Em D
About anything and everything
C D7 Em
Im a figure of forgotten speech
D
Im our of reach
C G
I cant play it safe
Am D7
But I might just in case


C D7 Em
Im disguised as a reaching hand
D
Im working man
C D7
I dont understand why clockout
Em D
Comes so slow every time
C G Am
Thats one line I stay right behind
C G Am B
Thats one line I stay right behind
