Tom: G#m
G#m F#
I see his eyes moving away from me
E C#m
Oh no, is this another albatross?
G#m F#
He knows he holds dominion over me
E C#m
But what I gain is worth the cost
[Verse 2]
G#m F#
We share the cold embrace of cousins
E C#m
I wonder if I've seen him somewhere else before
G#m F#
And as I wonder at his ancestry
E C#m
I miss the meeting by the door
[Chorus]
D E
And in the telling of the story
D E
I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
D E
I read his lips and I see glory
D F#7
But what I hear is "be afraid"
[Verse 3]
G#m F#
So from the fog of every morning
E C#m
Until the heat of day is still
G#m F#
I watch the clock as it turns backwards
E C#m
I see the water run uphill
[Chorus]
D E
And in the telling of the story
D E
I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
D E
I read his lips and I see glory
D F#7
But what I hear is "be afraid"
D E
And in the telling of the story
D E
I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
D E
I read his lips and I see glory
D F#7
But what I hear is "be afraid"
