C
I had a ground breaking idea
F/C
But I forgot to write it down
G
Now every thought starts to distort
(G) C
And they chase themselves around
C
Every concept loses meaning
F/C
When you look at it too long
G
Today’s amazing line becomes
(G) C
Tomorrow’s awful song.
C
Well Time’s longer than rope
F/C
I once heard somebody say
G
there’s nowhere to tie the end onto
(G) C
So I just float away
C
It’s only been three weeks, since I’ve seen the cheeks
F/C
Of friends I’s goodbye kissing
G
Now I feed the magpie mince
(G) C
And hope he’ll stay a while to listen
[Chorus]
F G
We all cope in different ways
(G) C
So don’t be too hard on yourself
Am F G
A hopeless string of empty days
(G) C
Like standing on an arctic shelf
C7 F G
Staring deep into the void
(G) C
Of your undiscovered mind
F G
Searching desperately to find
F Dm
Some comfort from the malaise
C
We all cope in different ways
