The Great Puzzle - Jules Shear
GAmCG
Once again I have forgotten my final destination after chasing it down too
many suns
CGD
So tonight you and I bring desperation to this highway, and we're not the only
ones
GAmCG
Outside a stillness that could only be summer and we are Mendicino bound
CGD
Feeling out of place as the ship that keeps on forward long after it's run
aground
CD
And I'm thinking ahead too much, but what are we then, when we're not thinking
at all
CD
I've got so many loose ends, dragging behind me, mysteries that want to be
solved
CHORUS:
AmC AmC
Like a maze where you could take a thousand paths, Like all the questions
that it does no good to ask
AmD CG
Some might accept it, some might complain, It's a great puzzle, but you've
gotta like games
GAmCG
Like a candle that's been recently blown out, I can still smell the smoke
CGD
>From a chance turned to missed opportunity, my latest enemy of hope
GAmCG
A gambler knows exactly how much you give away with a smile and it's real
CGD
But I only gamble on myself these days, I prefer the way it feels
CD
And I'm thinking aloud too much, giving too much up, I can't wait to see the
world as it is
CD
And have a whole perception turn from ruins to exception, with the one tiny
detail I miss
CHORUS
ADD:
CG
You've gotta like games, and working them through
DAmG
Figuring out why some win and some lose, and where does that leave me and you
CD
I've met coal miners who hate coal, thieves who hate what they stole, and they
think they've figured it out
C
Rich men who sleep preserved in warmth, who can't be hurt by any storm,
D
And they think they know what life is about
AmC AmC
But it's a maze where you could take a thousand paths It's all the questions
that it does no good to ask
AmD
Some might reject it, some go insane
C G C
It's a great puzzle, but you've gotta like games, It's a great puzzle, but
GCGCG
you've gotta like games
