[Intro]
G  D  G  D  C  G
 
[Verse 1]
G            D            G
Start in the way that you want to go on
D              C                   G
Tear down the fence that you sit upon
G                    D           G
It was good while it lasted but now it has gone
    D         C              G
So face up to what you have done
 
[Chorus]
     D               A                 C
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
    D                 A                   C
A glorious contest to find the invincible one
            D                     G
And I will know everything there is
 C          D           Em
Goodbye to you and your money
 C         D                G
And I will go anywhere you say
        C         D         N.C.
If you take away all the cameras
 
[Verse 2]
    G              D          G
The house that we live in is falling apart
        D       C                      G
There's no guarantee coz we got it for free
     G         D           G
And all the pretenders to somebody's throne
     D         C            G
Are finding it out on there own
 
[Chorus]
     D               A                 C
For time immemorial, time immemorial, time
      D                   A                   C
We'll go on a mission to find the invincible one
            D                     G
And I will know everything there is
 C          D           Em
Goodbye to you and your public
 C         D                G
And I will go everywhere you say
        C            D
If you don't charge admission

If you sell me the show, the secrets of your house
