So this is permanence
Love shattered pride
What once was innocence
turned on its side
A cloud hangs over me
marks every move
Deep in the memory
what once was love

[first bit]
Oh how I've realized
how I wanted time
Put into perspective
tried so hard to find
Just for one moment
I thought I'd found my way
Destiny unfolded
I watched it slip away

[second bit]
Excessive flash points
beyond all reach
Solitary demands for
all I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out
see what we can find
Valueless collection of
hopes and past desires

Middle Bit:

   1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -

E ------------------------------------------------------------------|
B ------------------------------------------------------------------|
G ------------------------------------------------------------------|
D -3-3-2-2-0-----------------------3-3-2-2-0------------------------|
A ------------------------------------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------------------------------------|

[first bit]
I never realized
the lengths I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of
a sense I didn't know
Just for one moment
I heard somebody call
Looked beyond the day in hand
There's nothing there at all

[second bit]
Now that I've realized
how it's all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy
this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of
where sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny
before it gets too late


End Bit:

Note:  It's only a rough guide, and there's a lot of extra stuff
played around what's written here, but I hope it's of some help.
Thanks to Nigel Koop for sending me the tape ;)
