verses: (note: D2-4 indicates D major to sus2 to sus4 etc..)
[D5]So as you push off from the s[D]hore
[D2-4]won't you turn your head once [A2-4]more
and make your peace with every[D2-4]one
[D5]for those who choose to st[D]ay
[D2-4]will live just one more [A2-4]day
to do the things they should've [D2-4]done
[G]and as you cross the wilderness
sus[A]pended in your emptiness
you feel you [D2-4]have to pray
[G]looking for a sign that
the [F2]universal mind as
[D2-4]written you into their passion p[A2-4]lay
(chorus)
and as you cross the circle line
while the iceworld sheets behind (lyrics fuzzy here?)
you're a rabbit on the run
and the silver splinters fly
in the corner of your eye
shining in the setting sun
well do you ever get the feeling
that the stories do their reeling
in the present tense
or that everybody's on the stage
and it seems like you're the only
person sitting in the audience
(chorus)
skating away
skating away
skating away
-end
