Stephen Stills - So begins the task

And ^Gso begins the ^Dtask I have ^Fdreaded the ^Em7coming of for ^Dso long^{Dsus D Dsus D} I ^Gwait for the ^Dsun to ^Fremind my ^Em7body it needs ^Drestin^Dsusg ^{D Dsus D}

And I must ^Amlearn to ^Csus2live with^Gout you ^Dnow I must ^Amlearn to ^Csus2give only ^Gpart ^Dsomehow^{Dsus D Dsus D}

^GCamping on the ^Dedge of your ^Fcity, I ^Emwait Hoping ^Csomeday you ^Gmight see be^Dyond yourself^{Dsus D} The ^Gshadows on the ^Dceiling ^Fhard, but not ^Emreal Like the ^Cbars that ^Gcage you ^Dwithin yoursel^Dsusf ^D

And I must ^Amlearn to ^Csus2live with^Gout you ^Dnow I must ^Amlearn to ^Csus2give only ^Gpart ^Dsomehow^{Dsus D Dsus D}

^GThen perhaps it is ^DI who is ^Ftrapped by il^Emlusion For thе ^Cfirst time in ^Gquite awhile I ^Ddoubt mysеlf ^{Dsus D G}All of these ^Dwords are like ^Fany other ^Emwords Only ^Cechos of ^Gshadows within ^Dourselves ^{Dsus D}

And I must ^Amlearn to ^Csus2live with^Gout you ^Dnow I must ^Amlearn to ^Csus2give only ^Gpart ^Dsomehow^{Dsus D Dsus D}

^GSomehow all the ^Dcages must and ^Fshall be set ^Emaside They will ^Conly ^Gkeep us from the ^Dknowing^{Dsus D G}Actors and ^Dstages now ^Ffall before the ^Emtruth And the ^Clove shared ^Gbetween remains ^Da'growi^Dsusng ^D
