C
From different levels

Just pieces together

Never had a fall
                                   G
That didn't burn with laughter
G         Am
Living it down
F                   C
Just enough time to revel
C
All this talk about

The machine and what it means

On the street side walking
                                 G
Faces wearing different dreams
G          Am
Living it down
F                   C
Just enough time to revel
            Am          G
When you're driving the view
               F           C              Am
The pace looks up when the burn goes down
         G                 F              C
Time and again when you're driving the view
C
Another non-issue

In around that commonplace

Free loose dirt
                                 G      
Free the minds of those who gain say
G         Am
Living it down
F                   C
Just enough time to revel
G         Am
Living it down
F                   C
Just enough time to revel
