Weber The Great Puzzle - Jules Shear G Am C G Once again I have forgotten my final destination after chasing it down too many suns C G D So tonight you and I bring desperation to this highway, and we're not the only ones G Am C G Outside a stillness that could only be summer and we are Mendicino bound C G D Feeling out of place as the ship that keeps on forward long after it's run aground C D And I'm thinking ahead too much, but what are we then, when we're not thinking at all C D I've got so many loose ends, dragging behind me, mysteries that want to be solved CHORUS: Am C Am C Like a maze where you could take a thousand paths, Like all the questions that it does no good to ask Am D C G Some might accept it, some might complain, It's a great puzzle, but you've gotta like games G Am C G Like a candle that's been recently blown out, I can still smell the smoke C G D >From a chance turned to missed opportunity, my latest enemy of hope G Am C G A gambler knows exactly how much you give away with a smile and it's real C G D But I only gamble on myself these days, I prefer the way it feels C D And I'm thinking aloud too much, giving too much up, I can't wait to see the world as it is C D And have a whole perception turn from ruins to exception, with the one tiny detail I miss CHORUS ADD: C G You've gotta like games, and working them through D Am G Figuring out why some win and some lose, and where does that leave me and you C D I've met coal miners who hate coal, thieves who hate what they stole, and they think they've figured it out C Rich men who sleep preserved in warmth, who can't be hurt by any storm, D And they think they know what life is about Am C Am C But it's a maze where you could take a thousand paths It's all the questions that it does no good to ask Am D Some might reject it, some go insane C G C It's a great puzzle, but you've gotta like games, It's a great puzzle, but G CGCG you've gotta like games Subject: CRD:the_great_puzzle by Jules Shear >From the album "The Great Puzzle" Submitted by K.
