Mean while back in the year one
C G F A
When you belonged to no one
C G F A
You didn´t stand a chance son
C G F D Dsus4 D
If your pants were undone
D G
´Cause you were bred for humanity
D Dsus4 G
And sold to society
D G
One day you´ll wake up in the present days
Csus4 Bb
A million generations removed from expectation of
D G A Asus4 A
being who you really want to be

Skating away

Skating away

Skating away
G C G C D Dsus4 D
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
G D
So as you push off from the shore
A Asus4 A
won t you turn your head once more
D Dsus4 D G
and make your peace with everyone
D A Asus4 A
For those who choose to stay will live just one more day
D Dsus4 D G
To do the things they should have done
G
And as you cross the wilderness
Em G D Dsus4 D G
a spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray
G Em G
Looking for a sign that the universal mind
D G A Asus4 A
has written you into the passion play

Skating away

On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
G D
And as you cross the circle line
A Asus4 A
well the ice wall creaks behind
D Dsus4 D G
you re a rabbit on the run
D A Asus4 A
And silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye
D
Shining in the setting sun
G Em
Well do you ever get to feeling
G Em D Dsus4 D
that the story s too damn real and in the present tense
G Em
Or that everybody s on the stage
G Em D G A Asus4 A
and it seems like you re the only person sitting in the audience

Skating away

Skating away

On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
