C
our course is coarsely plotted
Cadd9/B
on a map of shoddy dreams
Am
but hindsight will reveal
G F
time's moving faster than it seems
C
maybe i'm just selfish
Cadd9/B
i've got nothing left to give
Am
i'm still a foolish boy
G F G
i've got a lifetime left to live
E
and i was swinging like a madman
F
not quite sure of what i felled
C Cadd9/B
and i might never understand
Am G
exactly what it was i'd held
F
and now i watch the sun descending
G
from this weathered gravel roof
F
and i recall the sky once told me
G
that all lies lead to the truth
C Dm
so i'll look the other way
E F
and i'll turn a deafened ear
C Dm
and i'll talk of distant lands
E F - G
pretend i was never here
Am - G - F - G
Am - G - F
C
reality beads on my skin
Cadd9/B
like a slicker in the rain
Am
but now i feel it soaking in
G F
and i begin to feel the pain
C
i fight the urge to run to you
Cadd9/B
this is how it has to be
Am G
we've gotta step away right now
F G
we're just too close to see
E
and i was swinging like a madman
F
not quite sure of what i felled
C Cadd9/B
and i might never understand
Am G
exactly what it was i'd held
F
and now i watch the sun descending
G
from this weathered gravel roof
F
and i recall the sky once told me
G
that all lies lead to the truth
C Dm
so i'll look the other way
E F
and i'll turn a deafened ear
C Dm
and i'll talk of distant lands
E F
pretend i was never here
G Am G
and i'll look the other way
F
and i'll turn a deafened ear
G Am G
and i'll talk of distant lands
F G - F
pretend i was never here
