The Past Recedes

[Intro] G  D  Am  Em
        G  D  Am  Em
        G  D  Am  Em
        G  D  Am

G         D      Am        Em
And then the past recedes
G      D        Am        Em
And I won't be involved
G          D     Am    Em
The effort to be free
G                 D   Am
Seems pointless from above
G              D       Am    Em
Yor're looking down at' me
G          D     Am   Em
I'd rather stay below
G             D         Am      Em
Than have you staring up at me
G              D         Am     B7
Theres nowhere I want to gooo  ooooo

C         D#°             Em             D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C      D#°                  Em
Why to be here you've first got to die
D
So I gave it a try
    C           G
And what do you know
            Am      B7
Time was so long ago

G          D            Am    Em
And thinks come back you see
G        D         Am       Em
To where they don't belong
G         D      Am    Em
And every drop of sea
G D           Am        B7
Is the whole ocean      oooooooohhh

  C           D#°
I lied to the greatest thieves
      Em           D
About anything and everything
C     D#°          Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm out of reach
C               G
I can't play it safe
            Am          B7
But I might just in case

C     D#º           Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D
I'm working man
  C         D#º
I dont understand why clockout
Em            D
Comes so slow every time
       C          G             Am
That's one line I stay right behind
       C          G             Am    B7
That's one line I stay right behind
