Only In The Past Tab

by The Be Good Tanyas


* I changed the key a bit to better suit my lower voice... 
hope it works for you! If you want to play in the same key 
as the 'Tanyas, just change all the chords 2 higher 
(ex D becomes F, etc.)

Verse:
                          
Run away to the seashore 
                
it doesn't matter anymore
                       
Doesn't matter anymore
                        
Words dry up and fly away 
                
with the passing of the days
                               
Eventually you just let the stone fall

Chorus:
                                          
I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store
                                                    
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
                                              
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
                                         
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
                 
Only in the past

Instrumental: (  ) 2x

                          
You’re with me only in the past
           
Only in the past
                          
You’re with me only in the past
            
Only in the past


                                          
My palms are not open they're closed they're closed
                                          
My palms are not open they're closed they're closed

       
How-ooo-hm
       
How-ooo-hm
       
How-ooo-hem
       
How-ooo-hem

                                          
I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store
                                                    
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
                                              
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
                                                   
And now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
                   
     Only in the past




                        
Colours streak the sky 
               
We laugh and we cry
                                   
And we dance in the cool grass 
            
With the fireflies
                            
And we dance in the cool grass 
      
Sunset birds
               
Sweet sweet music 
            
Swallows our words
                           
You set sail and you left this town
                                      
Run away, run away, you're so far from me now
                   
So far from me now
                   
So far from me now


(Instrumental) (  ) x8

                          
Run away to the seashore 
                
it doesn't matter anymore
                       
Doesn't matter anymore
                        
Words dry up and fly away 
                
with the passing of the days
                               
Eventually you just let the stone fall
