Skating Away

C          G           F    A
Mean while back in the year one
C          G      F     A
When you belonged to no one
C          G       F      A
You didn´t stand a chance son
C       G          F D  Dsus4 D
If your pants were undone

                D          G
´Cause you were bred for humanity
    D  Dsus4   G
And sold to  society
               D               G
One day you´ll wake up: in the present days
  Csus4                  Bb
A million generations, removed from expectation of,
D             G              A  Asus4 A
being who you really want to be

            G            C   G            C        D  Dsus4 D
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay
          G                    D
So as you push off from the shore,
                              A   Asus4 A
won t you turn your head once more;
                              D  Dsus4 D G
and make your peace with everyone?
                        D                             A  Asus4 A
For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day
                                  D  Dsus4 D G
To do the things they should have done

                     G
And as you cross the wilderness,

  Em               G             D                    Dsus4 D G
a spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray
              G              Em        G
Looking for a sign, that the universal mind,
    D             G              A   Asus4 A
has written you into the passion play

On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay
           G                  D
And as you cross the circle line,
                           A   Asus4 A
well the ice wall creaks behind;
                       D  Dsus4 D G
you re a rabbit on the run
                     D                         A  Asus4 A
And silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye
                       D
Shining in the setting sun

            G           Em
Well do you ever get to feeling,
         G                Em               D            Dsus4 D
that the story s too damn real, and in the present tense
        G           Em
Or that everybody s on the stage,
       G                     Em    D              G         A    
and it seems like you re the only, person sitting in the 
Asus4 A
audience?
