Skating On The Glass Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][Am][G]
[F][Am]
[G]They took

[Verse 1]
you by surprise,
the [F]ways that [Am]it had [G]changed
Right behind your eyes,
like some[F]how you'd [Am]been [G]framed
"That's the new plateau"
[F]it said
"That's how you [Am]learn
to see [G]ahead"
You had read the signs when [F]you
were just [Am]a boy
[G]

[Verse 2]
When you'd get confused
by mo[F]mentary [Am]joy
[G]As beautiful as it could be,
it [F]took away your will to [Am]see ahead
[G]Ska[C]ting on the glass like it was strong,
im[F]patient to be proven wrong
Impa[C]tient to be where you're not
And where you get you [G]ask
what you've got
What [F]you've got
[Am]

[Verse 3]
You'd [G]bend the world to your will
Or [F]you would learn to [Am]be
[G]A bearing in a wheel in a
[F]dignified ma[Am]chine
Now [G]the former is a joke
And the lat[F]ter is [Am]a ko[G]an
And somewhere in between
is where you [F]are
Where you left and where you're going
