Bridge:
 
Am               F            C  G Am              D      G     
No one wants to weigh things down, but they tend to fly away  
     F                          C     G 
And rescue teams will look for days  

Am          F          C  G 
I like the way things are  
Am        D           G           F              C      G 
I say abandon the search, for an author of small work  


       Am          F 
Until then, Until then  
                C                     G         Am 
Until there's reason to think I've a shot at redemption  
        F       C 
Until then I'm not talkin'  



Am  F  C  G  Em  F  Em F 

Am         F       C      G 
Yes but remember this  
Am                D               G    
It's always been a long shot or worse  
F                  C          G        
For an author of small work  
Am               F             C G  Am        D 
I don't mean to weigh things down with fortune telling  
           G             F                    C   G 
Let's just see, when it all comes true we'll see  


       Am          F 
Until then, Until then  
                C                     G         Am 
Until there's reason to think I've a shot at redemption  
        F       C 
Until then I'm not talkin'

F                                                 C                           
No I've never been close, I thought you should know  
F                                        C                          
No I've never been close, I want you to know 
F                                          C                     
No I've never been close, I've never been close  

But I've never been far away  
F                     C                      
No I've never been close, I've never been close  

But I've never been far away  


Am          F          C    G 
I like the way things are  
Am        D            G   
Time to abandon the search 
F                 C          G 
For an author of small work  

       Am          F 
Until then, Until then  
                C                     G         Am 
Until there's reason to think I've a shot at redemption  
        F       C 
Until then I'm not talkin'
