[Verse 1]

      F#            C#
Been staring at the void too long
   F#                      C#
My blue skies have turned black
         D#m              C#
And the creepers that you cut down
        B                    A#m
From my walls have all grown back


[Verse 2]

  F#           C#
Tomorrow runs ahead just like
   F#                  C#
An old way through the wood
      D#m         C#
Been trodden many times before
             B          A#m
But it's no clearer understood


[Chorus 1]

    B                   F#
And where on earth it's taking us
    B                  F#
And how we're meant to choose
        B       F#
When it forks around the bend
    C#            B
And either way we lose


[Verse 3]

F#            C#
In my head I played the part
        F#            C#
Of the lover who was stung
   D#m        C#
An innocent abandoned
       B                A#m
In the dark when he was young


[Verse 4]

    F#               C#
But when I see more clearly
            F#                C#
Through the lies of my little play
D#m           C#
I was just as much the wolf
     B              A#m
Out hunting for its pray


[Chorus 2]

    B               F#
Oh love I know I've let you down
             B            F#
And all the promises I've made
B                 F#
And with all that anger
     C#        B
I'll go to my grave

[Verse 5]

      F#                C#
I've travelled far off countries
          F#            C#
I've seen many far out things
         D#m             C#
But I've never left this man-shaped cage
    B              A#m
Or shaken off this skin


[Verse 6]

      F#             C#
Got a picture of the little boy
       F#                 C#
As he reached towards the sun
    D#m                   C#
But now more sand's gone through the glass
      B                    A#m
Than there's still left to run


[Chorus 3]

    B                 F#
And when the lamp is burning low
          B                 F#
And the stitches slip their seams
B          F#
Into that darkness
      C#           B
We'll go with our dreams
