John Frusciante – The Past Recedes (Ukulele)

G         D      Am        Em
And then the past recedes

G      D        Am        Em
And I won't be involved

G          D     Am    Em
The effort to be free

G                 D   Am
Seems pointless from above

G              D       Am    Em
Yor're looking down at' me

G          D     Am   Em
I'd rather stay below

G             D         Am      Em
Than have you staring up at me

G              D         Am     B7
Theres nowhere I want to gooo  ooooo

C        D7              Em             D
Ay, this business of how long we try to stay alive

C      D7                   Em
Why to be here you've first got to die

D
So I gave it a try

    C           G
And what do you know

            Am      B7
Time was so long ago

G          D            Am    Em
And thinks come back you see

G        D         Am       Em
To where they don't belong

G         D      Am    Em
And every drop of sea

G D           Am        B7
Is the whole ocean      oooooooohhh

  C           D7
I lied to the greatest thieves

      Em           D
About anything and everything

C     D7           Em
I'm a figure of forgotten speech

D
I'm out of reach

C               G
I can't play it safe

            Am          B7
But I might just in case

C     D#           Em
I'm disguised as a reaching hand

D
I'm working man

  C         D#
I dont understand why clockout

Em            D
Comes so slow every time

       C          G            Am
That's one line I stay right behind

       C          G            Am    B7
That's one line I stay right behind
