[Bridge]
          Cm
Now, I am done with the Riverbed
A#
Sun never reaches there
Am
Done with the creatures bred
   A#
In wet mud and featureless
D#
Anchored to my skin, it swells
A#
Makes every heaven hell
    Am
The sky, the floor of the well
    A#
The air, the River-

Cm       D#
Threw me down
       G#  A#
Showed me around
C           A#         Am7
Humanity as   a prison ground
