The Past Receds(Keyboard chords)

	        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 Em 
Seems pointless from above 
G D Am Em 
Yor'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 
Theres nowhere I want to goooooooo 
 
C        D7              Em             D 
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive 
C      D7                   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      D7 
Time was so long ago 
 
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   B 
Is the whole ocean      oooooooohhh 
 
  C           D7 
I lied to the greatest thieves 
      Em           D 
About anything and everything 
C     D7           Em 
I'm a figure of forgotten speech 
D 
I'm our of reach 
C               G 
I can't play it safe 
            Am          D7 
But I might just in case 
 
 
 
 
 
C    D7            Em 
I'm disguised as a reaching hand 
D 
I'm working man 
  C         D7 
I dont understand why clockout 
Em            D 
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 
 
G D Am Em x3 
 
G D Am B  G
