LEAVE R.E.M.
Am F G Am
Nothing could bring me closer, nothing could bring me near
Am F G Am
Where is the road I follow, leaving, leave
It's under, under, under my feet
The sea spread out there before me
Better I go and the land touches sea,
There is in what I believe
Chorus
C Am
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
C G
That's what keeps me down
C Am G F F~ F
To leave it, le-e-eave it, leave it all behind
Shifting the dream, nothing could bring me
Further from rougher tide
We're shifting the dream, it's charging the sea
I know where I marked the signs
Suffer dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it
I know him well, ugly and sweet
A temper madness who believed in extreme
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say they aren't gonna like me, I say
They don't even know their plane never left the ground
Chorus
Lift me, lift me, I'll attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost the heartache calling me
I lost my self in sorrow, I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in gravity, memory, leave, leave, leave
Chorus (x2)
