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
You'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
It is nowhere I want to go
C          B7        Em                 D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C           B7           Em
Why to be here you first got to die
D
so I gave it a try
C               Cmaj9
And what do you know
            A7       B7
Time was so long ago
G         D              Am   Em
And things come back you see
G        D          Am      Em
To where they don't belong
G         D         Am             B7
and every drop of sea is the whole ocean
C                B7        
I lied to the greatest thieves
      Em           D 
about anything and everything
C        B7       Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm out of reach
C            Cmaj9
I can't play it safe
            A7             B7
But I might just in case

C       B7            Em         
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D
I'm a working man
C            B7           
I don't understand why clockout
Em           D
come so slow everytime
C           Cmaj9           A7 
That's one line I stay right behind
C           Cmaj9           A7        B7
That's one line I stay right behind
