John Frusciante The Past Recedes Lyrics

Chords used:
m7
Intro:
And then the past recedes
And I won't be involved
The effort to be free
Seems pointless from above
You're looking down at me
I'd rather stay below
Than have you staring up at me
It is nowhere I want to go (Oh)
in7
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive
in7
Why to be here you first got to die, so I gave it a try
And what do you know, time was so long ago...
And things come back you see
To where they don't belong
And every drop of sea
Is the whole ocean (Oh)}
in7
I lied to the greatest thieves about anything and everything
in7
I'm a figure of forgotten speech, I'm out of reach
I can't play it safe, but I might just in case...
Solo:
h=Hammer on
p=pull off
b=bend
/=slide
r=release bend
(in bend) (in bend)
in7
I'm disguised as a reaching hand, I'm a working man
in7
I don't understand why clockout come so slow everytime
That's one line I stay right behind
That's one line I stay right behind
