THE NEVER-ENDING PRESENT by GORD DOWNIE
Tab by Eric Starrs (thestarrsdownunder@hotmail.com)
INTRO: C A7 C
CThis waiting here for a bA7us is
CAlmost better than its cComing.
Every day it always dA7oes
As I dCaydream or kick some dCirt
Or throw a rock or check my wA7atch
Or cCatch my reflCmaj7ection.
CAnd it barely makes an impressiCon
A7On the never-ending preCsent.
This working from the inside out,
This stepping to the easel,
Is gonna run you into results,
Then there's the materials:
To see beyond your shoes
Reflected in the polish and see some images
Of truth beautifully demolished.
And it barely makes an impression
On the never-ending present.
Steel yourself against the cold
Or look for semi-precious shade.
When the bus crests that hill,
Love and hate are just the same.
Watching as the money drops,
Every day it always does.
Maybe there's a song in here.
No, and in fact, there never was.
Nothing but a little expression
From the never ending present.
Just me doing my impression
Of the never-ending present
