[Verso 1]
 
A               C#m 
I can't see the sky 
F#m            E    F#dim 
I only open my eyes wide 
   Bm                     E          A  F#7 Bm 
Selective perception is a useful device 
   E           F#m    D/F# F#m 
To screen everything

E                     F#                  
I used to think about life in a funny way 
   F#m                               E               A 
"A pedestal will make you fall if you stand on it too long" 
  C#m                             A 
I used to ponder all the time over things 
            E 
I felt were wrong

     A                E 
It's not a pretty picture 
    C#m        A  
For anyone I see 
      E    Esus4 E 
These days

[Verso 2]
 
A                  C#m 
A frame leads your eyes 
F#m             E 
Into a previous time 
F#dim           Bm 
You travel from moment to moment 
           E              A F#7 Bm 
But you'll always be here 
     E           F#m    D/F# F#m 
In familiar past tenses 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
E                   F#                   
If I followed you there would I ever know 
     F#m                                    E                A 
What year it is, I was hoping you would keep up with that for now 
   C#m                     
So back and forth we keep traveling and 
     A                   E 
It's nice you're feeling well, well

     A                E 
It's not a pretty picture 
    C#m        A  
For anyone I see 
      E    Esus4 E 
These days 
             A                E 
And there is not a pretty picture 
   C#m          A  
On any wall I see 
      E    Esus4 E 
These days

F#m7      Bsus2        C#m 
I want to seem like my ancestors seemed 
F#m7    Bsus2   C#m 
So many years ago 
             F#m7         Bsus2 
I'm stuck in time but I'm trying 
   C#m                          F#m7 
To find my way back home to you 

Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You

[Verso 3]
 
A                 C#m 
You'll meet me at ten 
F#m                     E  F#dim 
I'm still remembering when we traveled 
   Bm                          E           A      F#7    Bm 
So far, but now everything has come to an end-uh, end-uh 
   E                           F#m            D/F# F#m 
We still have an option but it won't be so popular 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
E               F#                   
Now I'm looking ahead as I look behind 
    F#m                             E               A 
I'm finding it's much easier to stay where I am this time 
   C#m                 
It wears me out to be wearing clothes 
A                 E 
Fashionable in 1993

  A                   E 
I saw this picture exposed 
   C#m           A  
So many years ago 
                    E Esus4 E 
And it's developing 
               A 
But where were you 
             E 
You in the scene 
       C#m                    A       
You're not in the place you were then 
E      Esus4 E 
Where were you 
E      Esus4 E 
Where were you
