Standard tuning, down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

There are three guitars going on here. The rhythm guitar
is a six-string acoustic. It plays the following chords:

--2------0------2------3------0-------0------0------0------0--
--3------3------3------3------3-------3------3------2------0--
--2------0------4------0------0-------2------0------0------0--

  D    A7sus4   Bm     G    G5add6 Dsus2/F# Em7     A7   A7sus2

There are two other guitars: a six-string electric and a
12-string acoustic. They mostly mirror each other's notes.
>From what I can tell, the 12-string's G string is not octaved
(see the solo).

Intro (12-string and electric playing single notes)

Verse 1

D
 Living for the moment

A7sus4
 It flashes and fades

              Bm
And takes you down

  G                D      A7sus4
Familiar deserted byways


D
 Shelf-stored memories

A7sus4
Lead you where you been

          Bm
No long ago

    G                     D     A7sus4
And guess who's guessing now?



Chorus

       G5add6  Dsus2/F#
Let me back             into your world

Em7                     D
   At the blink of the eye

              G
No uncertain terms

       Dsus2/F#       A7sus4  A7
Let me back into your world


Verse 2

You should know
What is real by now
Let the judges meet their makers

Can't slow down
Burning that four-barrel speed
A battle cry to treat this absence (?)


[Chorus]

Verse 3

Spent the promises
Spent the meantime
Through ins and outs
Of halfway house boundaries

Leave this impasse
If you're gonna leave anything
Just don't leave here
Without speaking your mind


[Chorus]
