C           G           F    A   C            G        F  A 
Mean while back in the year one,--When you belonged to no one. 
C            G       F      A    C        G         F  D  
You didn’t stand a chance, son,--If your pants were undone. 

                           G          D         G               
Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society, 
                 D    Nc          G 
One day you'll wake up, in the Present Day, 
   F                     Bb                   
A million generations removed from expectations  
    D             G             A 
Of being who you really want to be.  

G        D      G      D     G         D 
Skating away, skating away, skating away, 
                            C                G            D  
On the thin ice of the new day, ay e ay ay ay ! Ay ay ay ay ! 
  
G                             D                                   A  
So as you push off from the shore, won't you turn your head once more 
                              D 
and make your peace with everyone? 
G                        D                             A  
For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day, 
                                   D 
to do the things they should have done. 
G                                    A  
And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness,  
              D 
you feel you have to pray. 
G                          F 
Looking for a sign that the Universal Minds  
   D               G                 A 
Has written you into their Passion Play. 

Chorus  
  
G                            D                                 A 
And as you cross the circle line, well the ice-wall creaks behind,  
                        D 
you're a rabbit on the run. 
G                         D                         A 
And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye  
                        D 
shining in the setting sun 
G                                            A 
Well, do you ever get the feeling that the stories too damn real, 
                 D 
and in the present tense? 
G                                          F 
Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like you're the  
    D                G         A 
only, person sitting in the audience.
