Comments/ratings please...

A              E      D
It seems like I'm in danger
     A         E          D
Distracted by all that I see
     A         E       D
And even the nodding strangers
     A             E          D
Can tell what is happening to me

            A   E   D
Well, the boats we ride
A           E      D
Have been leaking lately
          A        E      D
And the tunnel of frozen time
     A       E        D
Has been increasing greatly

           E           D
There's a knot in my throat
          E           D
And the arrow flies close
                   A E D
Closer all the time
                   A E D
Closer all the time

             A       E       D
Close the windows, stop the yawning
         A          E       D
As the world grows weary of me
   A             E          D
I cast off this sense of belonging
     A         E   D
And slip into memory
     A      E                D
Then to my friends, I'll be gone
            A           E      D
And they'll gather and put me away
   A              E          D
I hope Jeff will sing me a song (aahhhhh)
     A         E        D
And everyone else will play

           E          D
There's a knot in my throat
          E          D
And the arrow flies close
                   A E D
Closer all the time
                   A E D
Closer all the time

The End
