F#m F#susHere at the glass -
F#mall the usual problems, all
F#sus the habitual farce.
F#m F#susYou ask, in uncertain voice,
F#mwhat you should do,
Eas if there were a choice but
Dto carry on
C#mmiming the song
C#mand hope that it all works out
F#mright.
F#susTonight it all seems so strange -
F#m/Amy spirit feels rigid, my body
F#sus/G#deranged;
F#mstill that's only from one
F#suspoint of view
F#m/Aand we can't have illusion
Ebetween me and you,
Dmy constant friend, ever close
C#mat hand -
F#myou and the undercover man.

[Db Eb] E B/D# Ev-en now we are not lost: if
D you look out at the night
Dyou'll see the colours and the
Glights seem to say
[E F G A Bb C]Bb/D people are not far a-way, at
Bb least in distance,
B5and it's only our own dumb resistance
Cthat's making us stay.

DWhen the madness comes, let it
G Aflood on down and over me sweetly,
Dlet it drown the parts of me
Gweak and blessed and damned,
A
Dlet it slake my life, let it
G Atake my soul and living completely,
D C C Cmaj7 Clet it be who I am.
A DThere may not be time for us
G Aall to run in tandem together -
Dthe horizon calls with its
G Aparallel lines.
DIt may not be right for you to
G Ahave and hold in one way forever
D C C Cmaj7 Cand yet you still have time,
C Cmaj7 F
C Cmaj7 C C Cmaj7 Fyou still have time.
