Time Forgot – Conor Oberst, live at WNYCs Green Space, 10th of April, 2014
Capo on 3rd. Some As might be A7. Or maybe he just take As in a weird way so that it looks like A7.
DPolished my shoes, bought a bEmrand new hat
Moved to a Gtown that time forDgot
DWhere I don’t have to shave or be aEmpproachable
No I can do Gjust what I Awant
EmI wanna walk in that hAowling wind ‘til it sDcatters all my tGhoughts
EmSit all alone on the riAver bank ‘til I forDget that I can Gtalk
Just AlistDen
DThey say everyone has a cEmhoice to make
To be Gloved or to be Dfree
DI told you once I felt inEmvisible
And I Gguess by now you Asee
EmThat what I meant is I’m Anot all there unDtil I finally Gleave
EmSome loneliness is acAceptable and Dsome’s just out right Gmean
It gets AevDen
GThe ivy crawls up the Agarden wall builds a Dladder towards the Gsun
GIt can’t be climbed but who’s Agonna mind if I Dclaim it can be Gdone
IlAlusionD  
AAnd the sun goes Gdown, Aand the stars come Bmout
The Emdistance that I felt, I can Asee it for myself Dnow
DBoarded a train to take my Emmemories back
Make up for Gtime that I have Dlost
DI’ll never know if I’m deEmlusional
I just Gbelieve that I am Anot
EmI’m gonna work for my Asanity, give it Deverything I Ggot
EmTough so far I have Acheated death, I know Dsomeday I’ll get Gcaught
Just AliviDng
GSo here we go man, it’s Abeautiful, get your Dtrumpet, get your Gdrum
We’ll be Gkeeping time in a Asecond line, it can Dmake you feel so Gyoung
GI know you say you’ll go Aall the way but that’s Dnot quite far enGough
EmSomeone told me Athat same thing
EmSomeone told me Athat same thing
EmSomeone told me that exAact same thing oDnce
