R.E.M. - Leave: chords

 A#m                     F#
Nothing could bring me closer
 G#                     A#m
Nothing could bring me near
 A#m                 F#
Where is the road I follow
     G#       A#m
To leave it? Leave
     A#m           F#
It's under, under, under my feet
     G#                  A#m
The sea spread out there before me
  A#m                   F#
Where do I go when the land touches sea?
  G#                  A#m
There is my trust in what I believe

Chorus:
 C#                 A#m
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
 C#                   G#
That's what keeps me down
    C#        A#m
To leave it, leave it
G#             F#
Leave it all behind

Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further
from my old friend time
Shifting the dream, it's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that, and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
I temper madness with an even extreme
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say that I'm a bantam lightweight
I say that I'm a phantom airplane
that never left the ground

Chorus

Lift me, lift me
I attain my dream
I lost myself, I lost the
Heartache calling me
I lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in gravity
Memory, leave, leave, leave

Chorus:
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me, that's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind

My hands, my eyes are still
I'll walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it
I've longed for this to take me
I've longed for my release
I've waited for the calling
To leave, leave

Leave, leave
Leaving
Leaving, leaving
