The Time Machine

| Dm    C  | Dm    C  | Dm    C  | F  |


[Verse 1]
 Dm          C         Dm       C
Put to the sword by an impish whim
 Dm        C         F
Follow me now to a place we begin
  Dm            C        Dm             C
Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear
 Dm        C        F
Devilish children playing here
 Dm        C          Dm         C
Hidden in silence, below barren waste
 Dm        C         F
Confusion hunger, am I still awake?

[Verse 2]
 Dm
Have I ever told you about my time machine
                           C      A#        Dm
Sit you down I'll tell you everywhere I've been
Dm
I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire
                           C      A#        Dm
Let me tell you about it, let me take you there
 Dm
Does it really matter, it's all in the mind
                           C       A#         Dm
Let me tell you about it, listen what you'll find


[Chorus]
G            Dm      G           Dm
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
 G           Dm      G                 Dsus2
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done


[Verse 2]
Dm
I have lived a long life, I have seen the world
                           C          A#     Dm
I could tell you stories, hair will stand on end
  Dm
Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls
                          C       A#     Dm
I have seen a god's face, I have no disgrace
Dm
I have seen the gods cry, howling in the wind
                          C      A#   Dm
Where do I get started, when can I begin


[Chorus]
G            Dm      G           Dm
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
 G           Dm      G                 A
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

[Bridge 1]
  Dm
Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes
 A#         C           Dm
Father and sons give me all of your lies
  Dm
The brutal truth, that is never a lie
 A#          C            Dm
Full moon is out, as you look to the sky

You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

Open your heart and I'll open your soul
A#        C      Dm
Even in quieter moments I know

[Outro]
Dm        C        Dm           C
Eerie collection, darkness is there
 Dm        C          F
Wedded to danger, betrothed to despair
