Written by Roy Harper as performed by David Gilmour [Intro] D Dsus2 A7sus4 D D A/D G/D Dsus2 D D D Dsus4 D [Verse]
G/D      A/D         Dsus2       G/D
You ask, what is the quality, of life

A/D        Dsus2       G/D      Dmaj7
Seeking to justify the part you play

G/D       A/D        Dsus2          G/D
And hide, fearing it incomplete, to try

   Dmaj7   A/D         G/D                 D
To make it any more or less than short and sweet
[Verse]
G/D        A/D           Dsus2  G/D
But short, short is from you to me

A/D        Dsus2         G/D       Dmaj7
As close, as we are want to try to make it be

G/D           A/D          Dsus2         G/D
We're caught, watching the darkened sky, who knows

Dmaj7       A/D            G/D              D
Helpless as time itself to hold the time of day
[Verse]
G/D      A/D       Dsus2      G/D
And you, you are a fantasy, a view

A/D              Dsus2             G/D          Dmaj7
From where you'd like to think the world should see

G/D      A/D          Dsus2          G/D
Be true, and you will likely find, a few

Dmaj7      A/D            G/D              D
Building a vision new and justice to our time
[Break] C G/B G D C G/B G A A A A A A A A A D Dsus4 Dsus2 D [Verse]
G/D     A/D      Dsus2         G/D
And we, we the immoral men, we dare

A/D       Dsus2    G/D       Dmaj7
Naked and fearless in the elements

G/D       A/D         Dsus2          G/D
And free, carefree of tempting fate, aware

Dmaj7       A/D           G/D              D
And holding off the moral nightmare at the gates
[Verse]
G/D        A/D        Dsus2                  G/D
And sweet, sweet as a mountain stream, we'll look

A/D      Dsus2       G/D         Dmaj7
Toward a new day breaking in the east

G/D         A/D      Dsus2         G/D
We'll meet, as every future dream, unfolds

Dmaj7      A/D          G/D         D
And surely quality that is the very least
[Outro] C G/B G D C G/B G D
