Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Mea[G]nwhile bac[A]k in the year one
[G]When you [A]belonged to no one
You [G]didn't stand [A]a chance, son
[C]If your [G]pants were un[D]done

[Verse 2]
'Cause you were [D]bred, for human[G]ity
And [D]sold [G]to soci[D]ety[G]
One day you'll [D]wake [A]up [D],
in the [G]present day
A [F]million [C]gener[F]ations re
[Bb]moved from expectations
[A]Of [Asus4]being who[D] you
[G]really want to [A]be[Asus4]
[A]Skat[D]ing away,

[Verse 3]
skating away, skating away
On the thin [G]ice of the new [C]day[D]
[G]So

[Verse 4]
[D]as [G]you[D] push
off from the shore
Won't you turn your head once [A]more
[Asus4]And make your peace[A]
with every[D]one[G]
[D]For those who choose to stay
Will live just one more [A]day
[Asus4]To do the things[A]
they should've [D]done
And [G]as you cross the wilderness
Spin[A]ning in your emptiness
If you [D]have to, pray
[G]Looking for a sign, that the [F]universal [C]minds
[D]Has written you in[G]to
the passion [A]play[Asus4]
[A]Ska[D]ting away,

[Verse 5]
skating [G]away,
[D]skating away
On the thin [G]ice of the [D]new [C]day
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]
An[D]d as you cross the circle line
Well, the ice wall creaks [A]be hind
[Asus4]You're a rabbit on[A] the run[D][G]
And the [D]silver [G]splin[D]ters fly
In the corner of [A]your eye
Shining in the setting sun
[D]Well, do you[G] ever get the feeling
That [A]the story's too damn real
And in [D]the present tense?
Or [G]that everybody's on [D]the stage[G]
[F]And it seems [C]like you're the only
[D]Person sitting [G]in the audience?
[A]

[Verse 7]
[Asus4]Skating a[A]way[D],
skating [G]away, [D]skating awa[G]y[D]
On the thin [G]ice of the new [C]day
[G][D]

[Verse 8]
Skating away, skating [G]away,
[D]skating[F] awa[Fdim]y
