Verses:
D5 D
So as you push off from the shore
D Dsus2 Dsus4 A Asus2 Asus4
won’t you turn your head once more
D Dsus2 Dsus4
and make your peace with everyone
D5 D
for those who choose to stay
D Dsus2 Dsus4 A Asus2 Asus4
will live just one more day
D Dsus2 Dsus4
to Do the things they should’ve done
G
and as you cross the wilderness
A
suspended in your emptiness
D Dsus2 Dsus4
you feel you have to pray
G
looking for a sign that
F2
the universal mind as
D Dsus2 Dsus4 A Asus2 Asus4
written you into their passion play
Chorus
and as you cross the circle line
while the iceworld sheets behind (lyrics fuzzy here?)
you’re a rabbit on the run
and the silver splinters fly
in the corner of your eye
shining in the setting sun
well Do you ever get the feeling
that the stories Do their reeling
in the present tense
or that everybody’s on the stage
and it seems like you’re the only
person sitting in the audience
Chorus
skating away
skating away
skating away
