John Frusciante - The Past Recedes
G D Am Em x3
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 B7+5
Theres nowhere I want to goooooooo
C F#dim7 Em D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C F#dim7 Em
Why to be here you've first got to die
D
So I gave it a try
C G/B
And what do you know
Am F#dim7
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 B7+5
Is the whole ocean oooooooohhh
C F#dim7
I lied to the greatest thieves
Em D
About anything and everything
C F#dim7 Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm our of reach
C G/B
I can't play it safe
Am F#dim7 B7
But I might just in case

The Real by John Frusciante
F#m Bm A E
I dont know the real from what i thought i saw
I cant remember where i went, where i was
F#m Bm A E F#m2x
F#m Bm A E F#m
I'm gonna move toward a point in time
F#m Bm A E
Where where you are is a state of mind
Bm A E F#m Bm A E F#m
And anytime I can read your thoughts, Some of them yours and some I thought of
F#m Bm F#m Bm A
Theres no good reason for a heartbreak, nothing's repeating every Monday
F#m Bm A F#m
Its no good saying you'll always be mine
F#m Bm A E F#m
These jokes life's playing they make me so tired so tired.
F#m Bm A F#m
F#m Bm A F#m
F#m E A E
It's already to much to always see you off
F#m E A E
The sense that hours go back is enough
F#m Bm A E F#m2x
F#m Bm A E F#m
I like to fade when I write this line
F#m Bm A E
There's every reason to paint a decline
Bm A E F#m Bm A E F#m
And every mile i walk is five I'll get where I'm going in the next life
F#m Bm F#m
And all the while there's a false face
F#m Bm A
This every killing is left untraced
F#m E A E
This kind of falling saved my son
F#m E A E
This constant longing for what's gone
F#m Bm A E 5x
Whats gone
F#m
A Name
B F# G#m
These don't have a name
B F# G#m
I've been a fool to let it out that way
C#m G#m
And it'll keep on coming back
B F# G#m
A fool gets laughed at
B F# C#m G#m
And I'll go on and on and on
B F# C#m G#m
Letting it out when the feeling's strong
B F# C#m G#m
I wonder who in the single thing
B F# C#m G#m
Made this night and this ugly dreams
B F# G#m
These all pass away
B F# G#m
It is clear that one can see through a day
C#m G#m
And i may have met my match
B F# G#m
Completely unattached
B F# C#m G#m
With no one no one no one
B F# C#m G#m
On whom to rely let's sing that song
B F# C#m G#m
Well I didn't read the last page
B F# C#m G#m
You thought of me at that final stage
G#m E F# G#m
eenie meenie miny moe
G#m E F# G#m
It's about time about time to go
G#m E F# G#m
eenie meenie miny moe
G#m E F# G#m
It's about time about time to go
