The Speed Of Life

D

D                                                  Bm
Stars, Soft whispers by a fire, Two lovers talking endlessly
       G                             D
The desires and hopes Of adolescent innocence
  D                                                    Bm
I've seen it all, Yes I recall, Such pure and precious memories
G                                       D        G
Dreaming of the things That can never came to be

G                   Bm               A
Oh how I wish that I  could be As content as the next boy
                       D
Downing his bitter, Discussing the snooker

    Bb                            C
I'm light years away The speed of life in this place
            A
I just feel light years away

  C           B               Bb             A
Robotically I hear the words, All you see is all you are
C               B      Bb
Fodder for the factory   If you can find one
A
 There's your destiny In the ring-room
A
 Is your destiny In the ring-room?

D                                                Bm
 So, I watch the others grow, I must admire such confidence
G                                  D
Coping with the things I'll always sing about
                                     Bm
So secure, So very sure, Or is it reflectory?
G                            D           G
Can they be as happy As they seem to be?

G                   Bm               A
Oh how I wish that I  could be As content as the next girl
                        D
Surrounded by children, Rushing the ironing

    Bb                            C
I'm light years away The speed of life in this place
            A
I just feel light years away

C                  B          Bb               A
Teacher's words return to me, All life's rules Carved in stone
C               B              Bb
All you see is all you are, Be thankful you're here today
A
 Not last century
C               B            Bb             A
Constantly the words return, All you see is all you are
C            B      Bb
Fodder for society,    But sadly
A
 There's no sanctuary In the tap-room
A
 There's no sanctuary In the pool-room
A
 There's no sanctuary In the bed-room

    C
(Is what you are, Is what you are, ...)
A
Aaaah ...
         C               A
What you see Is what you are
         C               A
What you see Is what you are
         C               A
What you see Is what you are
         C               A
What you see Is what you are ...
