Time Forgot
Conor Oberst
| D | Em | |
| Polished my shoes, bought a | brand new hat, |
| G | D | |
| Moved to a | town that time for | got. |
| D | Em | |
| Where I don’t have to shave or be ap | proachable; |
| G | A | |
| No I can do | just what I | want. |
| Em | A | D | G | |
| I wanna walk in that | howling wind ‘til it | scatters all my | thoughts, |
| Em | A | D | G | |
| Sit all alone on the | river bank ‘til I for | get that I can | talk - |
| A | D | |
| Just | lis | ten. |
| They say everyone has a choice to make To be loved or to be free. |
| I told you once I felt invisible, And I guess by now you see. |
| That what I meant is I’m not all there until I finally leave, |
| Some loneliness is acceptable and some’s just out right mean - |
| It gets even. |
| G | A | D | G | |
| The ivy crawls up the | garden wall builds a | ladder towards the | sun. |
| G | A | D | G | |
| It can’t be climbed but who’s | gonna mind if I | claim it can be | done - |
| A | |
| Il | lusion. |
| A | A | Bm | |
| And the sun goes down, | and the stars come | out, |
| Em | A | D | |
| The | distance that I felt, I can | see it for myself | now. |
| Boarded a train to take my memories back, Make up for time that I have lost. |
| I’ll never know if I’m delusional I just believe that I am not. |
| I’m gonna work for my sanity, give it everything I got |
| Tough so far I have cheated death, I know someday I’ll get caught - |
| Just living |
| So here we go man, it’s beautiful, get your trumpet, get your drum. |
| We’ll be keeping time in a second line, it can make you feel so young. |
| I know you say you’ll go all the way but that’s not quite far enough. |
| Someone told me that same thing, Someone told me that same thing, |
| Someone told me that exact same thing once. |
