The Ascent of Man R.E.M.
[A]So hesitation [B]pulled me back
I'm stronger when I [A]don't attract
In your eyes I'm a [B]lamb without a rack
And I am getting con[A]fused
I'm a [B]cactus trying to be a ca[A]noe
As you pan for ore
In the desert, [B]floored
I say to you
That I could never imagine a [F#]place so beautiful[G#m]
I could never steal your[F#] gold a[B]way.
Yeah yea[E]h yeah yeah yeah [C#m]yeah
[E](I try to walk like a big wham bam[C#]
I came across like a battering ram
[E]I try to float like a telegram sam[C#]
I'm trying to divine you
[F#] [E] [B]
My book is called "The Ascent Of [F#]Man"
I marked your chapter with a catama[G#m]ran
The accent's off
But I [F#]am what I [B]am
Yeah ye[E]ah yeah yeah yeah [C#]yeah
[E](I try to walk like a big wham bam[C#m]
I came across like a battering ram
[E]I try to float like a telegram sam[C#]
I'm trying to divine you.)
[F#]
[B] [A] [D] [G] [F#] [E]
[B]I looked for you, it's my last grand[F#]stand
A motorscootered goat legged [G#m]pan
Figure eighting in [F#]quick[B]sand
Yeah [E]yeah yeah yeah yeah [C#m]yeah
[E](I try to walk like a big wham bam[C#m]
I try to float like a telegram sam
[E]I came across like a battering ram[C#m]
I'm trying to divine you.)
[E](I try to walk like a big wham bam[C#m]
I try to float like a telegram sam
[E]I came across like a battering ram[C#m]
I'm trying to divine you.)
[A]So hesitation pulled me [B]back
I'm so in love I [A]don't attract
And with my [B]hands tied I won't crack[A]
[B]('Cause in my mind I called you back.)
[A] [B]
