F#m F#sus 
Here at the glass - 
         F#m 
all the usual problems, all 
              F#sus 
 the habitual farce. 
F#m F#sus 
You ask, in uncertain voice, 
        F#m 
what you should do, 
           E 
as if there were a choice but 
    D 
to carry on 
     C#m 
miming the song 
                 C#m 
and hope that it all works out 
F#m 
right. 
 
                       F#sus 
Tonight it all seems so strange - 
               F#m/A 
my spirit feels rigid, my body 
F#sus/G# 
deranged; 
     F#m 
still that's only from one 
        F#sus 
point of view 
                    F#m/A 
and we can't have illusion 
      E 
between me and you, 
    D 
my constant friend, ever close 
 C#m 
at hand - 
           F#m 
you and the undercover man.

 I re flect: 'It's very strange 
             D 
to be going through this change 
               G 
with no idea of what it's all been about

Oh, but I shirk it, I've half a

Is this madness just the

recurring wave of total

emotion,

or a hide for the undercover

man,

or a litany - all the signs are

Now, panicking, you burst for air, 
Emmaj7 
drowning, you know you care 
G/D 
for nothing and no-one but 
     A/Db 
yourself 
    G 
and would deny even this hand

 to help.

 Ev-en  now we are not lost: if 
           D 
 you look out at the night 
                  D 
you'll see the colours and the 
G 
lights seem to say 
[E  F  G  A   Bb C]Bb/D 
 people are not far a-way, at 
     Bb 
 least in distance, 
    B5 
and it's only our own dumb resistance 
        C 
that's making us stay.

When the madness comes, let it 
     G           A 
flood on down and over me sweetly, 
     D 
let it drown the parts of me 
           G 
weak and blessed and damned, 
A 
     D 
let it slake my life, let it 
   G            A 
take my soul and living completely, 
   D C C   Cmaj7 C 
let it be who I     am. 
 
A    D 
There may not be time for us 
     G          A 
all to run in tandem together - 
 D 
the horizon calls with its 
     G      A 
parallel lines. 
   D 
It may not be right for you to 
   G             A 
have and hold in one way forever 
  D  C  C    Cmaj7 C 
and yet you still have  time, 
  C Cmaj7 F 
 
  C    Cmaj7 C     C Cmaj7 F 
you still have  time.
