[D] [A] [F#] [A]
[D] [F#] [A]
But now I'll be clearly, [D] and the dawn is coming [A] nearly,
[F#m] I'll un-humanize it [A]
slowly, and swear I'll never forget again.
[D] [A] [F#m] [A]
[D] [A] [F#m] [A]
An explorer he went wandering,
[D] Satisfied [A] his pondering,
[F#] Basically [A]
meandering, [E] unsure of what he'd [A] find.
Afraid of any danger, [D] to his family he's a [A] stranger,
[F#m] And from time to time he turns around, and this [A] runs through his mind.
You see the life I'd embrace you,
I should rather penetrate you,
[F#] At least again if I [A] replace you.
You see I'm going to pay,
But now I'll be clearly, [D] and the dawn is coming [A] nearly,
[F#m] I'll un [A]-humanize it slowly, and swear I'll never forget again.

[A#] From a multitude of stories,
Some are clean and some are story,
But there is no need to worry,
If you're [F] sold or if you're bought.
We're just [A#m] spinning off from granite,
And we like to call it planning,
And if you need to talk [A#] and play,
Well use it after music's lost.
The life I'd embrace you,
I should rather penetrate you,
At least again if I replace you.
You see I'm [F] going to pay,
[A#] But now I'll be clearly, and the dawn is coming nearly,
I'll un-humanize it slowly, and swear I'll never forget again.
The [G#m] life I'd [A] embrace you,
I should [F#] rather penetrate you,
At least again if I replace you.
You see I'm going to pay,
But now I'll be clearly, and the dawn is coming nearly,
I'll un [E] [B]-humanize it slowly, and swear I'll never forget again.
[E] [G#]
Forgive me, [B] forgive me, forgive me, forgive [F#] me,
[B] Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me,
Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me,
[E] Forgive me, forgive me, [G#m] forgive me,
[B]
And I'll never forget again.
[E] [B] [G#m]
