One, Two, Three, Four Intro G D Am Em X3 G D Am Verse 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 Verse 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 B Is nowhere I want to go Chorus C Am Em D Ay, This business of how long we try to stay alive C Am Em Why to be here you first got to die D So I gave it a try C G Am And what do you know time was so long ago Verse 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 B Is the whole ocean Verse C Am I lied to the greatest thieves Em D About anything and everything C Am Em I'm a figure of forgotten speech D I'm out of reach C G I can't play it safe Am But I might just in case Solo C G I'm disguised as a reaching hand Am I'm a working man C G I don't understand why clock out Am Comes so slow every time C G Am That's one line I stay right behind C G Am B That's one line I stay right behind.
