Ascent Of Man

A             B
So hesitation pulled me back
                    A
I'm stronger when I don't attract
                   B
In your eyes I'm a lamb without a 
rack
                    A
And I am getting confused
      B                       A
I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe

As you pan for ore
               B
In the desert, floored

I say to you

                             F#    
That I could never imagine a place 
             G#m
so beautiful
                        F#     B
I could never steal your gold away.

        E                C#m
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
E                                 
(I try to walk like a big wham bam
  C#


I came across like a battering ram
E                                 
I try to float like a telegram sam
  C#


Continues after the ad
I'm trying to divine you

F#   E    B
My book is called "The Ascent Of 
F#
Man"
I marked your chapter with a 
      G#m
catamaran

The accent's off
      F#        B
But I am what I am

       E                 C#
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I looked for you, it's my last

grandstand
                             G#m
A motorscootered goat legged pan
                   F#   B
Figure eighting in quicksand

A                       B
So hesitation pulled me back
                 A
I'm so in love I don't attract
            B                      
And with my hands tied I won't

('Cause in my mind I called you 
back.)
