[Verse 1]

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    B7
 There's nowhere I want to gooo  oooh


[Chorus]

C        D#dim            Em             D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C      D#dim                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      B7
Time was so long ago


[Verse 2]

G               D        Am    Em
And things 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
  Is the whole ocean  ooooohh


[Chorus]

  C           D#dim
I lied to the greatest thieves
      Em           D
About anything and everything
C     D#dim         Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm our of reach
C               G/B
I can't play it safe
            Am          B7
But I might just in case

[Chorus]

C    D#dim          Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D
I'm working man
  C         D#dim
I dont understand why clockout
Em            D
Comes so slow every time
       C          G/B          Am
That's one line I stay right behind
       C          G/B          Am    B7
That's one line I stay right behind
