Intro 
G - D Dsus4 - Am - C 
G - D Dsus4 - Am - C 
 
G                    D Dsus4           Am 
These things'll go slowly by - these things 
        C 
They'll be where no one would think 
G                     D Dsus4 
And when given this life 
              Am 
I ought've thanked you all 
C 
 Who will take it away 
 
Am                     C 
 I notice that you're fine 
Am                     C 
 Setting up beside wherever turns a blind eye 
 
G            D Dsus4 Am 
 Any solemn phase 
           C 
And you belong to two times at once 
G               D Dsus4 
 My radio's my heart 
    Am 
We live as one 
     C 
Two ways at once 
 
Am                   C 
 I know the waves I form 
Am                  C 
 I know the way I won't become

G                             D Dsus4 
 These still places that are gone by 
   Am 
Believe (they're somewhere else) 
   C 
Believe they're somebody else 
   G                        D Dsus4 
Jumping in the mind of a passerby 
      Am                  C 
And being replaced like times files 
 
Am             C 
 Another wasted flaw 
Am                       C 
 Going up against the endless law 
 
G                    D Dsus4 Am -     C 
 I'm flown through a mirror     -   almost disappearing 
G         D Dsus4 
 I glow faintly 
         Am           C 
You know - this is nobody's life 
 
Am                 C 
 I saw the days I lost 
Am                 C 
 Hiding behind tomorrow's costs 
 
G - D Dsus4 - C - C 
Time going back 
 
G - D Dsus4 - Am - C 
G
