The Past Recedes Tabs & Lyrics by John Frusciante
The Past Recedes
guitar tabs lyrics
One, Two, Three, Four
INTRO
G D AM EM X3
G D AM
VERSE
G D AM EM
And then the past recedes
G D AM EM
And I won't be involved
G D AM EM
The effort to be free
G D AM
Seems pointless from above
VERSE
G D AM EM
You're looking down at me
G D AM EM
I'd rather stay below
G D AM EM
Than have you staring up at me
G D AM B
Is nowhere I want to go
CHORUS
C AM EM D
Ay, This business of how long we try to stay alive
C AM EM
Why to be here you first got to die
D
So I gave it a try
C G AM
And what do you know time was so long ago
VERSE
G D AM EM
And things come back you see
G D AM EM
To where they don't belong
G D AM EM
And every drop of sea
G D AM B
Is the whole ocean
VERSE
C AM
I lied to the greatest thieves
EM D
About anything and everything
C AM EM
I'm a figure of forgotten speech
D
I'm out of reach
C G
I can't play it safe
AM
But I might just in case
Solo (see other tab)
C G
I'm disguised as a reaching hand
AM
I'm a working man
C G
I don't understand why clock out
AM
Comes so slow every time
C G AM
That's one line I stay right behind
C G AM B
That's one line I stay right behind.
G D AM EM X3
G D AM B G
=D Enjoy
