Past My Door

Gene Clark


Tom: C

D                          A
You say it's all your imagination
C             G             A                   D
Should I just stand here or bury myself in your floor?
                            A
You say don't add to my frustration
        C       G       A              D
Well I didn't intend to linger at your door


D                           C
Blackboard explanations and trial examinations
    G                                       D
And temperature relations on the moon
                                         C
The streetcar of invention an afternoon of slight intention
    G                                         D
The effects of some strong lesson learned too soon

 G                                 D
"Too late" cries a melting, lonely snowman
 G                                  D
"Forget" reminds a blackbird taking wing
 Bm                                         A
"Tomorrow" whisper voices in the darkness
        G                                          D
But the days go slowly moulding past my door

C      G         Am
Took a walk with you
    C           Em          Fmaj7                   G    Fmaj7
The clouds were blue on the bottom and white on the top
C        G             Am
Saw that one day could show
  C         Em      Fmaj7         G     Fmaj7  G  D
I wish that I would never have to stop

Up the walk cry vendors, Mrs. Black never remembers
Finally she goes screaming through the night
Apartment house conceptions, a girl who paints deception
With the blurred out recollection of the light

"Stop her" slurs a constable in denims
What dare relates the viewer from the blind
"Whenever" says the upstairs Angelina
But the days go slowly moulding past my door
