Shades Off Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]But the time isn't right and there's
things to be [F]done[C]
And you're trapped half- way up,
you don't want to go back
So you keep going on,
compromising the [F]lack
[C]And you see the green fields as
you [F]travel [C]on by
And you look at the things
you'd forgotten to try
And you wish you were young [F]and you
[C]wish you were old

[Verse 2]
For the songs always [C]sung and the stories
[F]been told[C]
And you thought you were different
but what did it [F]mean
[C]For you tricked yourself trying,
life's still unseen
As it is, as it was, as it always will [F]be
[C]Will you find out [F]at all what
it is to be [C]free[F]
[C]See it never was easy to live [F]with a head
[C]So I kept to the[F] back room and I
live [Am]there instead[F][C]
What comes from the front-
[F]room is only for friends
I have a [C]bay [F]window
[C]but that's where it ends

[Verse 3]
And its here I see [F]pictures and
my madness is clear
And there's [C]no longer logic
so therefore no [F]fear
And I'm almost dead [Bb]with uncontrol
[F]lable [C]light
Sometimes when I've
written a song, its alright
