Lyrics

[Intro]
| D | C | Bm | A |

[Verse 1]
D                            C      Bm                A
 Do you see the way that tree bends?  Does it inspire?
D                              C
 Leaning out to catch the sun's rays...
  Bm                     A
a lesson to be applied...
D                                C        Bm
 Are you gettin' something out of this all  encompassing
     A
trip?

[Chorus]
D                             F
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets oh..
 Dm
.
F   D
 Or you can come to terms and realize
F                                            D
You're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah..
.
F               D              F
 Makes much more sense to live in the present tense..
 D

[Interlude]
             | C |
| Bm | A |

[Verse 2]
D                               C
 Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Bm                                         A
  Checked your hands and studied the lines?
D                                 C             Bm
 Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends  off into
          A
the light?

[Verse 3]
D                                   C
 Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder
       Bm
To find  an approach and a way to live..
 A
.
D                             C          Bm           A
 Are we gettin' something out of this allencompassing trip?

[Chorus]
D                             F
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets oh..
 Dm
.
F   D
 Or you can come to terms and realize
      F                                      D
You're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah..
 F
.
                D            F               G
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense..
