The Past Recedes

Music & Words By: John Frusciante

(INTRO)

1, 2, 3, 4

G D Am Em
G D Am Em
G D Am Em
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

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 B7
It is nowhere I want to go

(CHORUS)
C D#dim7 Em D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
C D#dim7 Em D
Why to be here you first got to die so I gave it a try
C G/B Am B7
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 B7
is the whole ocean

(CHORUS)
C D#dim7 Em D
I lied to the greatest thieves about anything and everything
C D#dim7 Em D
I'm a figure of forgotten speech, I'm out of reach
C G/B Am B7
Oh, I can't play it safe but I might just in case

(Solo)

C D#dim7 Em D
I'm disguised as a reaching hand, I'm a working man
C D#dim7 Em D
I don't understand why clockout comes so slow every time
C G/B Am
That's one line I stay right behind
C G/B Am B7
That's one line I stay right behind

(OUTRO)
