A Little Too Far

Tom: C

   C
Do you remember?  Look at me.
   Em
At all the things we'd said we'd be.
     Am
We'd beat the house we'd push the odds.
     F
We'd take it all we had the cards.
     C
With years to burn and years to trash.
Em
Livin' life based on flash.
    Am
But somehow reaching for the stars.
  F                D   E   C (These Last 3 Are Notes...Not Chords)
I think we went a bit too far.     
  

Chorus:
C
Got to get back. 
       Dm
Got to get back.
           Em
Got to get back.
  F              G            C    
I never meant to take it this far.
      C
Got to get back.
Dm
Got to get back.
        Em         F   G
Got to get back.
  

   C
When everything you touch turns gold.
   Em
Can weigh you down. Can make you old.
     Am
When metal doesn't ring the same. 
     F
Reaction from inside your brain.
   C
And all the years we offered up.
Em
To gods who couldn't get enough.
     Am
Though we still stay up all night.
  F                       D   E   C (These Last 3 Are Notes...Not Chords)
The mornings aren't as quite as bright.
  

**Repeat Chorus

   C
And all those things we thought we learned.
   Em
As we watch our bridges burn.
     Am
While standing in the after glow.
     F
I guess we gave them quite a show.
   C
But who's to say what it's about.
Em
When John Wayne caught the last train out.
     Am
And Spock and Kirk have had enough.
  F                    D  E  C (These Last 3 Are Notes...Not Chords)
And no one's left to beam me up.
