Bongwater - The Drum chords
Start Jamming...
The key is now.
This is the moment in which we can do.
[G]
Now.
What we call [D] the future is
man's hope of [G] the future, which he is hoping [D] now.
We are non [G]-contemporary.
We are non-contemporary.
I'm keeping time [D] with the clock.
And don't forget when I'm in the [G] epiphone water.
Are you coming to a [D] coming call?
The understanding that I'm handing [C] it to you.
Or is that a job you don't [G] dare do?
Ain't my pretty flower [C] got some love for you?
You'll find it [G] on the shelf.
Though [F] it was supposed to be the kind that I know,
it's just a thought [G] I'd like you to hear yourself.
And time becomes the [Bm] greatest tire in our lives.
Time.
[Am] And time becomes the greatest [G] tire.
We watch [F] the distance [C] overflashing.
[G] On [F] the [C] beat and on the beat.
And [G] it's passion.
Get it?
I'm keeping time [D] with the clock.
And don't forget when I'm in the [G] epiphone water.
If even till the next [D] beat goes,
one of them all [Em] says pause [C] between.
I would hate to make the game [G] seem clean.
Ain't my pretty flower, [C] can you guess where I've been?
Can't even [G] guess at all.
[F] What I've been doing, rooms and lines, you've got all the [G] various delegates along.
Make the [Bm] press dynamically right.
That which [Am] is good in the past will live.
Will live.
Will [G] live.
We watch [F] the distance [C] overflashing.
[G] On [F] the beat and on [G] the beat.
And it's passion.
Time.
Just sit down to the sound [D] of the clock.
And don't forget when [G] I'm in the epiphone water.
It won't be pleasant when the pleasant [D] time is done.
Testing my new [G] new, this brand new [C] summer moon.
It's bitter and like a jelly [G] in a spoon.
[C] Ain't my pretty flower, there's a candle in the room.
And it's not the [G] produce blue.
Well [F] I think I'll let it do the same thing.
Try to make it drink [G] as it is blue.
[Bm] We achieve a new relationship with life.
[Am] And never suppress [G] nature and everyone.
We watch [F] the distance [C] overflashing.
The diversity of activity.
[G] On [Fm] the [C] beat and on the [G] beat.
And it's passion.
[D] [Am] [G]

[D] The sun [G] raises a willingness [D] to be true.
The coming of the [G] insect.
The dying tree.
The rest of the flower.
[D] Within our heart.
With the mysterious song.
