R.E.M. - The Ascent Of Man: chords

A              B
So hesitation pulled me back
                     A
I'm stronger when I don't attract
                    B
In your eyes I'm a lamb without a rack
                     A
And I am getting confused
       B                       A
I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe
As you pan for ore
                 B
In the desert, floored
I say to you
                              F#             G#m
That I could never imagine a place so beautiful
                        F#      B
I could never steal your gold away.

Chorus:
       E                 C#m
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
E                                 C#m
(I try to walk like a big wham bam
I came across like a battering ram
E                                 C#m
I try to float like a telegram sam
I'm trying to divine you

My book is called "The Ascent of Man"
I marked your chapter with a catamaran
The accent's off, but I am what I am

Chorus

I looked for you, it's my last grandstand
A motorscootered goat-legged Pan
Figure eighting in quicksand

Chorus

So hesitation pulled me back
I'm stronger when I don't attract
And with my hands tied I won't crack
