Time Forgot – Conor Oberst, live at WNYCs Green Space, 10th of April, 2014

Capo on 3rd. Some As might be A7. Or maybe he just take As in a weird way so that it looks like A7.


D                            Em
Polished my shoes, bought a brand new hat
           G                 D
Moved to a town that time forgot
D                                  Em
Where I don’t have to shave or be approachable
            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 forget that I can talk
     A   D
Just listen

D                        Em
They say everyone has a choice to make
      G              D
To be loved or to be free
D                        Em
I told you once I felt invisible
      G                A
And I guess by now you see

Em                       A               D             G
That what I meant is I’m not all there until I finally leave
Em                   A            D                     G
Some loneliness is acceptable and some’s just out right mean
        A D
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
Illusion


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


D                          Em
Boarded a train to take my memories back
            G                A
Make up for time that I have lost
D                        Em
I’ll never know if I’m delusional
       G                 A
I just believe that I am not


Em                    A               D            G
I’m gonna work for my sanity, give it everything I got
Em                  A                     D                G
Tough so far I have cheated death, I know someday I’ll get caught
     A   D
Just living


G                       A                   D                 G
So here we go man, it’s beautiful, get your trumpet, get your drum
             G                 A                   D                G
(*) We’ll be keeping time in a second line, it can make you feel so young
G                        A                      D               G
I know you say you’ll go all the way but that’s not quite far enough
Em              A
Someone told me that same thing 
Em              A
Someone told me that same thing 
Em                     A               D
Someone told me that exact same thing once




(*) -keep time in a second line- might be wrong.
