Standard (EADGBE)

our course is coarsely plotted

on a map of shoddy dreams

but hindsight will reveal

time's moving faster than it seems

maybe i'm just selfish

i've got nothing left to give

i'm still a foolish boy

i've got a lifetime left to live

and i was swinging like a madman

not quite sure of what i felled

and i might never understand

exactly what it was i'd held

and now i watch the sun descending

from this weathered gravel roof

and i recall the sky once told me

that all lies lead to the truth

so i'll look the other way

and i'll turn a deafened ear

and i'll talk of distant lands

pretend i was never here

reality beads on my skin

like a slicker in the rain

but now i feel it soaking in

and i begin to feel the pain

i fight the urge to run to you

this is how it has to be

we've gotta step away right now

we're just too close to see

and i was swinging like a madman

not quite sure of what i felled

and i might never understand

exactly what it was i'd held

and now i watch the sun descending

from this weathered gravel roof

and i recall the sky once told me

that all lies lead to the truth

so i'll look the other way

and i'll turn a deafened ear

and i'll talk of distant lands

pretend i was never here

and i'll look the other way

and i'll turn a deafened ear

and i'll talk of distant lands

pretend i was never here
