G D Am Em (play this 3 times)
 
 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 Em
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
 
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 our of reach 
C               G 
I can't play it safe
            Am          D7 
But I might just in case
 
  [Here John plays a solo:) ] 
 
 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
