The Past Recedes

Intro:
G D Am Em x3

G D Am

Verse:
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                     B
Theres nowhere I want to goooooooo     ooooh

C        D7                               Em                   D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C            D7                               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              D7
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      B
Is the whole ocean      oooooooohhh

  C           D7
I lied to the greatest thieves
              Em                  D
About anything and everything
C     D7                 Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
       D
I'm out of reach
C                    G
I can't play it safe
                     Am                D7
But I might just in case

C    D7                       Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
       D
I'm working man
  C                  D7
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       B
That's one line I stay right behind
