They Might Be Giants – 2082 (Guitar)

C
Draw the curtain, look, you're only sleeping

C
Or is this only what the other you is dreaming?

       F
Either way

        C
Hard to take

      F#dim7                     Fm
Ashen features unmistakably your own

         C                           D7
Familiar posture, recast in skin and bone

       Dm7                 Fm        C
Person from today, here is you in 2082

            C
Remove your helmet, first equalize the pressure

        C
No, but first, take readings to be sure

                  F
The atmosphere is safe

          C
Yes, it's safe

       F#dim7                         Fm
As the ancient one cranes his neck to look

            C                           D7
You see his hand's been replaced with a hook

         Dm7                     Fm            C
But it's clear you're very much alive. It's 2105.

           D#
No, it's 2240

           G#
No, it's 3415

                     D7
How can you still be living?

               D7   G7
What does this mean?

         C
You must honor and respect the older fellow

     C
Even as you suffocate him with his pillow

           F
Though you're strong

       C
He was wise

         F#dim7                      Fm
There is much you can learn from the sage

                  C                                 D7
And though you'll leave and travel back to your own age

         Dm7             Fm     C     D7
You will meet again, you two in 2082

             F#dim7                      Fm
What was the look he gave intended to convey?

          C                               D7
Was there something else he was trying to say?

        Dm7                Fm        C
It will all be revealed to you in 2082
