Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I'm pretty sure all the words are right, I had to just listen and repeat what I thought
heard. Let me know if any chords or lyrics need changing and enjoy!

Oh wake me please when this is over

Oh when the ice has melted away
D G
and the hunger returns

and it turns out i will be

the same but older
D G Em C
and maybe twice the man that i thought i was
G F#m
Where have you been?
Em D C
And what have you done?
D G
I've been under the ground
F#m Em D C
Reading prayers from this old book I found
D G
Under the ground
F#m Em
Saving it up
D C
And spending it all
D
On moving pictures
(finger-picking)
And silent films
moving pictures
And silent films
oh is this the dream i've been saving
oh where the heart beats slower and slower
to almost nothing
almost nothing
almost nothing
i took it for love,
or at least something beautiful
out there in the spotlight i turned around suddenly
turned around squinting
and saw that it was headlights
and in them the truth
the truth was unbearable
oh and dimmer than
bearing down on these two shadow animals
caught painting a dotted line
caught painting a dotted line
caught painting a dotted line
G F#m
Where have you been?
