The Future That Was
Standard Tuning
G 320033
Cadd9 x32033
D xx0232
And it starts like [G]this we crave to be kissed
by a moment com[Cadd9]plete in its happiness
Far away from the [G]things that we wish to escape
that lead us to [Cadd9]think we are not awake
We are our[G]selves despite ourselves
this place gets [Cadd9]smaller as the universe swells
We come to [G]terms eventually, eventual[Cadd9]ly, eventually.
[G]I am not the only [Cadd9]cowboy in this [G]one horse meta[Cadd9]phor
And [G]I am not the only [Cadd9]life guard who's [G]washed up on the [Cadd9]shore
CHORUS:
[D]Wake me up [D]take me out
[C]Calm me down when [D]I'm in doubt
[D]And I'm in doubt[Cadd9]
Every[G]day[Cadd9][G][Cadd9]
And words are like [G]weight with density and shape modifying [Cadd9]forms they evaporate
You can choose the [G]truth you can listen to light
you can lead the [Cadd9]charge and still loose the fight
Far be it for [G]me to claim anything
for I am just [Cadd9]one in a state of being
I come to [G]terms eventually, eventual[Cadd9]ly, eventually
[G]I am not the only [Cadd9]proverb that [G]never really [Cadd9]fits
And [G]I am not the only [Cadd9]Caulfield who's [G]catching more than kid[Cadd9]s
CHORUS
And so it [G]ends as it begins as every[Cadd9]thing that is infinite ascends
Into it's [G]time all things pass all things [Cadd9]fade all things last
You are your[G]self despite yourself
this world grows [Cadd9]smaller as the universe swells
We come to [G]terms eventually, eventual[Cadd9]ly, eventually
[G]I am not the only [Cadd9]boxer that [G]hasn't words to [Cadd9]write
And [G]I am not the only [Cadd9]poet who's [G]much too scared to [Cadd9]fight
CHORUS
And it starts like [G]this we crave to be kissed
by a moment com[Cadd9]plete in its happiness
We are our[G]selves, eventually, eventually,[Cadd9] eventually
[G]I am not the only [Cadd9]cowboy in this [G]one horse meta[Cadd9]phor
This is my first ever attempt at this, so please don't hesitate to correct me. I believe
transistion are all in the correct places but I'm not confident I have the chords
especially in the chorus. Thanks
