G C D Eb Bb F
Gm                        C
Not long ago, and yet the image is so vague 

D     Eb            Bb        F
I hesitate to label it a memory

Gm                        C 
There was a show of local color and I felt astray

D           Eb           Bb            F
Cause I had nothing to offer but insufficiency 

Eb                       F
And you know that it's a bitch

         Eb                    F 
When you learn to scratch that itch 

   Eb               F
Of blatant fallibility

          Eb                F 
Sooner to some, but eventually

         Eb                  F 
All gets pointed in the same direction 

                Eb                     F
While the human masses and their vague conceptions

                Eb                F
Obliterate each other with impunity

        Eb                 F        D 
And you wonder, "What's in this for me?" 

               Gm  Bb  F
To another abyss 

          Gm  Bb  F
To no avail 

    Gm        Bb       F
The search is bound to fail 

D              Gm  Bb  F
To another abyss 

          Gm  Bb  F
To no avail 

   Gm     Bb      F
So long ago I set sail

       Eb               D 
And it chills me to the bone

         C        F         Gm  Eb  Bb  F   
That I'm so far away from home 

                Gm  Eb  Bb  F
To another abyss

   Gm                    C
So what should I do now? What should I celebrate? 

D      Eb                Bb            F
Given finite means and a penchant to depreciate

    Gm                   C 
How can I still avow and depend upon a state 

D          Eb             Bb              F
That cares nothing for my happiness, welfare, or fate? 

      Eb              F
And I know I can't explain

      Eb            F 
The commotion in my brain

       Eb          F 
Like a terrifying reality

       Eb                   F 
Deconstructed but inadequately

         Eb                  F 
All gets pointed in the same direction 

                Eb                     F
While the human masses and their vague conceptions

                Eb                F
Obliterate each other with impunity

      Eb        F               D
and release the weight of history

               Gm  Bb  F
To another abyss 

          Gm  Bb  F
To no avail 

    Gm        Bb       F
The search is bound to fail 

D              Gm  Bb  F
To another abyss 

          Gm  Bb  F
To no avail 

   Gm     Bb      F
So long ago I set sail

       Eb               D 
And it chills me to the bone

         C        F         Gm  Eb  Bb  F   
That I'm so far away from home 

                Gm  Eb  Bb  F
To another abyss 

   Gm     Eb    Bb     F  Gm  Eb  
So long ago, so long ago

          Bb    F  Gm  Eb  Bb  F
Oh, I set sail

        Gm                Eb
And I'm struggling on the way

        Bb              F 
And I'm waiting for the day (to another abyss)

        Gm              Eb          Bb                 F  G  Eb 
And I'm looking for the way back home (to another abyss) 

   Bb      F
So far away (to another abyss)

   Bb      F                  Gm  Eb  Bb  F
So far away (to another abyss) 

                  Gm  Eb
(to another abyss) 

   Bb     F
So far away

                  Gm  Eb  Bb  F   End on: Gm
(to another abyss)
