But, um, I've been given the job of starting off, so I'm gonna start with a song called Distant Sun.
Which is a song I wrote in all innocence, really not considering what the words meant, but various kind of spiritual friends of mine pointed out to me that I talked about seven worlds in the chorus, and I was completely baffled as to why that was significant, but they said, oh, that's deep, Neil.
[Eb] It's very deep.
[Db] Anyway, I'm discovering these things as time [Eb] goes on.
[Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] Tell me all the things you [Ab] would change.
[Eb] I don't pretend to know what [Ab] you want.
[Cm] When you come around and spin my top, time and [Ab] again, time and again.
[G] [Eb] No fire where I lit [Ab] my spark.
I'm [Eb] not afraid of [Ab] the dark.
[Cm] Where your words devour my heart and put me [Ab] to shame, put me to shame.
When [Eb] your seven [Bb] worlds [Fm] collide, [Ab] whenever I [Bb] am by your [Eb] side, [Bb] and dust from a distant [Fm] sun [Ab] will shower [Bb] over [Eb] everyone.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] Still so young to travel [Ab] so far.
[Eb] Old enough to know who [Ab] you are.
[Cm] Wise enough to carry the scars without [Ab] any blame.
There's no one to blame.
[G] [Eb] It's easy to forget [Ab] what you lost, [Eb] waiting for the thrill to [Ab] return.
[Cm] Feeling your desire burn, and you're drawn to [Ab] the flame.
[Bb] When your seven worlds [Fm] collide, [Ab] whenever I [Bb] am by [Eb] your side, [Bb] and dust from a distant [Fm] sun [Ab] will shower [Bb] over [Eb] everyone.
[Bb] [Fm]
[Ab] [Bb] [Cm] And I'm lying [Bb] on the [Ab] table, washed out in the [Cm] flood, [Bb] like a Christian [Ab] fearing vengeance from above.
[Cm] I don't pretend [Bb] to [Ab] know what you want, but I offer [Bb] love.
[Fm] [Ab]
[D] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Fm] [Bb] [Ab]
[D] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] When your seven worlds [Fm] collide, [Ab] whenever [Bb] I am by [Eb] your side, [Bb] and dust from a distant [Fm] sun [Ab] will shower [Bb] over [Eb] everyone.
[G]
Yeah, [Ab] it's [Cm] time.
[Dm]
It's [Ab] rolling down your neck, like a [Eb] tiny bead of sweat.
[G]
You end [Ab] up getting wet.
It's time.
[Cm] [Dm]
[Ab] It's time.
I [Cm] fell asleep, as the dust [Ab] laid on the ground.
