Surplus Time Chords & Lyrics - Misc Unsigned Bands - Mike Lisi

[INTRO-]

[C]
N [Am]
[C]
N [Am] [E]

I [C]wish I could save my friends
N
I'm not aging as fast as them
And [Am]when I die I'll take all my [Bm]surplus time with me

I can [C]thank my lucky stars above
N
I haven't been destroyed by love
I'm s[Am]tarving for a prophet I can fi[D]nally believ[E]e

- [C] N
-You'll never forget
[C] N [Am]
-the charred remains of past mistakes
-Until you scatter the ashes [C]out [D]into the [G]wind [E]

[C] N
-Play connect the dots
[C] N [Am]
-With the street lights at night
-And make your new home is [C]wher[D]ever they [G]end. [E]

I [C]haven't seen much evidence
N
I remain a little unconvinced
My [Am]best is really good enough
Or [Bm]if it's good at all

But [C]I'm glad I learned a thing or two
N
From all the shit I'm going through
I've a[Am]massed a little pride
To comfort [D]me before my fall [E]

- [C] N
-Like a roaring train
[C] N [Am]
-Regret smashes into me
-Because I can't find the [C]strength [D]enough to [G]dodge it [E]

- [C] N
-Willing and Submissive I follow
[C] N [Am]
-wherever the path before me leads
-But I'm not so blind I [C]can't [D]step over the [G]dog shit
