Verso 2:
D5                           D 
So as you push off from the shore
D9-4                          A9-4 
won't you turn your head once more
                              D9-4
and make your peace with everyone


D5                        D
for those who choose to stay 
D9-4                    A9-4
will live just one more day
                                D9-4
to do the things they should've done


G
and as you cross the wilderness 
   A
suspended in your emptiness 
             D9-4
you feel you have to pray


G
looking for a sign that
    F9
the universal mind as
D9-4                            A9-4
written you into their passion play

[Refrão]

Verso 3 (mesmo q o 2°)
and as you cross the circle line
while the iceworld sheets behind  
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

[Refrão]
