Time Forgot – Conor Oberst, live at WNYCs Green Space, 10th of April, 2014 Capo on 3rd. Some As might be A7. Or maybe he just take As in a weird way so that it looks like A7. D Em Polished my shoes, bought a brand new hat G D Moved to a town that time forgot D Em Where I don’t have to shave or be approachable G A No I can do just what I want Em A D G I wanna walk in that howling wind ‘til it scatters all my thoughts Em A D G Sit all alone on the river bank ‘til I forget that I can talk A D Just listen D Em They say everyone has a choice to make G D To be loved or to be free D Em I told you once I felt invisible G A And I guess by now you see Em A D G That what I meant is I’m not all there until I finally leave Em A D G Some loneliness is acceptable and some’s just out right mean A D It gets even G A D G The ivy crawls up the garden wall builds a ladder towards the sun G A D G It can’t be climbed but who’s gonna mind if I claim it can be done A Illusion A (?) A Bm And the sun goes down, and the stars come out Em A D The distance that I felt, I can see it for myself now D Em Boarded a train to take my memories back G A Make up for time that I have lost D Em I’ll never know if I’m delusional G A I just believe that I am not Em A D G I’m gonna work for my sanity, give it everything I got Em A D G Tough so far I have cheated death, I know someday I’ll get caught A D Just living G A D G So here we go man, it’s beautiful, get your trumpet, get your drum G A D G (*) We’ll be keeping time in a second line, it can make you feel so young G A D G I know you say you’ll go all the way but that’s not quite far enough Em A Someone told me that same thing Em A Someone told me that same thing Em A D Someone told me that exact same thing once (*) -keep time in a second line- might be wrong.
