Past Recedes Chords & Tabs
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 B
It is nowhere I want to go
C B7 Em D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C B7 Em
Why to be here you first got to die
D
so I gave it a try
C Cmaj9
And what do you know
A7 B7
Time was so long ago
G D Am Em
And things come back you see
G D Am Em
To where they don't belong
G D Am B7
and every drop of sea is the whole ocean
C B7
I lied to the greatest thieves
Em D
about anything and everything
C B7 Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm out of reach
C Cmaj9
I can't play it safe
A7 B7
But I might just in case
C B7 Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
D
I'm a working man
C B7
I don't understand why clockout
Em D
come so slow everytime
C Cmaj9 A7
That's one line I stay right behind
C Cmaj9 A7 B7
That's one line I stay right behind
