[Intro]

G D Am Em (x3)
 
G D Am


[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      oooooooohhh     

[Chorus 1]

 C        D#dim7          Em             D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C      D#dim7               Em 
Why to be here you've first got to die
D
So I gave it a try
    C           G  
And what do you know
            Am      B7
Time was so long ago
 
[Verse 2]

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
 Is the whole ocean      oooooooohhh 
 
[Chorus 2]
  C           D#dim7
I lied to the greatest thieves
      Em           D   
About anything and everything
C     D#dim7       Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm our of reach 
C               G 
I can't play it safe
            Am          B7
But I might just in case
 

[Solo]
G D Am Em (x3)
 
G D Am B7

[Chorus 3]
 C    D#dim7        Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D
I'm a working man
  C         D#dim7 
I don't understand why clockout
Em            D
Comes so slow every time
       C             G           Am
That's one line I'd stay right behind
       C             G           Am    B7
That's one line I'd stay right behind


[Outro] 

G D Am Em (x3)
 
G D Am B7

G
