D Em
Polished my shoes, bought a brand new hat
G D
Moved to a town that time forgot
D Em
Where I don’t have to shave or be approachable
G A
No I can do just what I want
Em A D G
I wanna walk in that howling wind ‘til it scatters all my thoughts
Em A D G
Sit all alone on the river bank ‘til I forget that I can talk
A D
Just listen
D Em
They say everyone has a choice to make
G D
To be loved or to be free
D Em
I told you once I felt invisible
G A
And I guess by now you see
Em A D G
That what I meant is I’m not all there until I finally leave
Em A D G
Some loneliness is acceptable and some’s just out right mean
A D
It gets even
G A D G
The ivy crawls up the garden wall builds a ladder towards the sun
G A D G
It can’t be climbed but who’s gonna mind if I claim it can be done
A
Illusion
A (?) A Bm
And the sun goes down, and the stars come out
Em A D
The distance that I felt, I can see it for myself now
D Em
Boarded a train to take my memories back
G A
Make up for time that I have lost
D Em
I’ll never know if I’m delusional
G A
I just believe that I am not
Em A D G
I’m gonna work for my sanity, give it everything I got
Em A D G
Tough so far I have cheated death, I know someday I’ll get caught
A D
Just living
G A D G
So here we go man, it’s beautiful, get your trumpet, get your drum
G A D G
(*) We’ll be keeping time in a second line, it can make you feel so young
G A D G
I know you say you’ll go all the way but that’s not quite far enough
Em A
Someone told me that same thing
Em A
Someone told me that same thing
Em A D
Someone told me that exact same thing once
