Capo 3
C G F A C G F A
Mean while back in the year one,--When you belonged to no one.
C G F A C G F D
You didn't stand a chance, son,--If your pants were undone.
G D G
Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society,
D G
One day you'll wake up, in the Present Day,
F Bb
A million generations removed from expectations
D G A
Of being who you really want to be.
G D G D G D
Skating away, skating away, skating away,
C G D
On the thin ice of the new day, ay e ay ay ay ! Ay ay ay ay !
G D A
So as you push off from the shore, won't you turn your head once more
D
and make your peace with everyone?
G D A
For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day,
D
to do the things they should have done.
G A
And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness,
D
you feel you have to pray.
G F
Looking for a sign that the Universal Minds
D G A
Has written you into their Passion Play.
Chorus
G D A
And as you cross the circle line, well the ice-wall creaks behind,
D
you're a rabbit on the run.
G D A
And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye
D
shining in the setting sun
G A
Well, do you ever get the feeling that the stories too damn real,
D
and in the present tense?
G F
Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like you're the
D G A
only, person sitting in the audience.
Chorus
