1. C You say you want to go back, Dm C change what has been done, F Em But experience is fixed and as Dm Bb unyielding as the sun.
2. C You'd like to look ahead into Dm C tomorrow afternoon, F Em But potential times lay hidden like Dm Bb the dark side of the moon.
3. C You're running from the present. Dm C Moment still keeps flying by. F Bb Now's the only place to work in. Eb C Here's the only time to try.
4. Am G The present, past and future are F C but three links in a chain. Am G Our future's pleasures lie in hope F Bb of escaping living pain.
5. C Eventually we're born. Dm C We have to leave the womb behind. F Em Eventually we see ahead, Dm Bb the tomb is all we find.
6. C The past is pain we can't escape. Dm C It pushes us ahead. F Bb That's why we build for what we know Eb C comes after when we're dead.
7. Am G But now is all you have today F G you have to drink the cup, Am G And hope your past has prepared you Bb C D3sus for... what is coming up.

1. B Bb You... can... Eb Spend your time in meditation Db Spend your time inside Eb It can be a kind of education Db Or a place to hide Eb Spend your time in thinking, reading, Db Talking while alone Eb Until you're through with all you are Db and everything you've known Eb And when it's not enough Db then you will come out of your cave Eb The first thing you will Db hear is how you're C B going to have to shave
2. Bb You can Eb Spend your time in social service Db Trying to do good Eb Some will say you just unnerve us Db Others say you should Eb Spend your time in work and trouble Db Worry with your friends Eb Until you're through with each idea Db Fraying at the ends Eb And when it's not enough Db Then you'll retreat and contemplate Eb The first thing you will Db hear is how you Eb Db Eb almost were too late.
My life is in such awful shape! The reason is because My life is based on Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong does!
Not only does it all go wrong, it goes wronger every day! And it doesn't all just go wrong, it goes wrong in the very worst possible way!
Each choice invokes catastrophe! Doesn't matter what I do! On the left path lies disaster! Disaster lies on the right path, too!
Some people just have a talent, a gift, that sets them above the throng. My God-given gift is ability to be perpetually, totally wrong!
Performed, spoken, in Mindful Webworkshop Episode #10, 2016 Oct 14, with a simple musical progression of A-G-D-A.
1. G It's my birthday -- I'm doing the dishes Em And thinking of the birthday wishes Am G that I've received from friends of mine F D I think my friends are really fine
2. G I'm twenty-two, and the storm rages on Em Which distracts me from my askin' where have all the sages gone? Am Bbdim And the wisdom of the ages handed down from man to man Em G Amounts to "here's your planet, just do what you can."
3. G It's my birthday, for what it's worth Em Counting off day by day from my birth. Am G Without a sense of the truly great Am D There would be no higher purposes I could appreciate

4. G It's my birthday. The rippling thunder Em underscores my sense of wonder Am Bbdim That even though I sit alone, I'm not completely on my own G There's so many helping me go through my changes to be grown
5. G Another cycle is passing me by Em But I don't have time to think about the one where I may die Am G Because tomorrow can't top today Am D Although it's just like yesterday in almost every other way
6. G Today's my birthday. I'll do what I can Em To serve my Father in Heaven and my fellow man Am G And 'though we're far from our final ends Am D G I'm so glad that we have learned to live and love as friends!
