[Verse I]
 
 
A
As logic stands you couldn't meet a man who's
         G#m         A
from the future. But logic broke as he appeared
                   G#m      B               A
he spoke about the future, "we're not gonna make it"
B                    A
he explained how the end will come. You and me were
                              G#m   F# E F#7sus4
never meant to be part of the future.......

[Verse II]
 
A
I noticed that he had a watch and hat that
       G#m       A
looked familiar, he was me from a dimension
                 G#m      B               A
torn free of the future, "we're not gonna make it"
B                    A
he explained how the end will come. You and me were
                              G#m   F# E F#7sus4
never meant to be part of the future........
