Ascent Of Man

R.E.M

 AB
 So hesitation pulled me back
 A
I'm stronger when I don't attract
 B
In your eyes I'm a lamb without a rack
 A
And I am getting confused
 BA
I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe

As you pan for ore
 B
In the desert, floored

I say to you

 F#G#m
That I could never imagine a place so beautiful  
 F#B
I could never steal your gold away.

 EC#m
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
 EC#
 (I try to walk like a big wham bam   

I came across like a battering ram
 EC#
 I try to float like a telegram sam   

I'm trying to divine you

 F#
My book is called "The Ascent Of Man"
 G#m
I marked your chapter with a catamaran

The accent's off
 F#B
But I am what I am

 EC#
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
 EC#m
 (I try to walk like a big wham bam   

I came across like a battering ram
 EC#
 I try to float like a telegram sam   

I'm trying to divine you.)

 F#
 BADGF#E
 BF#
 I looked for you, it's my last grandstand
 G#m
A motorscootered goat legged pan
 F#B
Figure eighting in quicksand
 EC#m
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
 EC#m
 (I try to walk like a big wham bam  

I try to float like a telegram sam
 EC#m
 I came across like a battering ram   

I'm trying to divine you.)
 EC#m
 (I try to walk like a big wham bam   

I try to float like a telegram sam
 EC#m
 I came across like a battering ram   

I'm trying to divine you.)

 AB
 So hesitation pulled me back
 A
I'm so in love I don't attract
 BA
And with my hands tied I won't crack  
 B
 ('Cause in my mind I called you back.)
