D D  Bb Bb  G G
A A cold and wet November dawn
D D Bb Bb C C
and there are no barking sparrows
D D F F A A
just emptiness to dwell upon.

D D Bb Bb G G
I fell into a winter slide
D D Bb Bb C C
and ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
D D F F A A
just eking out my measly pies.

Chorus:
G G D D A A D D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
G G D D F F A A
know there is this side of me that
G G D D A A D D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G G D D F F A A
fly the whole mess into the sea.

D D Bb Bb G G
Another slow train to the coast
D D Bb Bb C C
some brand new gory art from way on high
D D F F A A
I sink and then I swim all night.

D D Bb Bb G G
I watch the ice melt on the glass
D D Bb Bb C C
while the eloquent young pilgrims pass
D D F F
and leave behind their trail
C C A A
imploring us not to fail.

G G D D A A D D
Of course I raised to gather courage from those
G G D D F F A A
lofty tales so tried and true and
G G D D A A D D
if you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
G G D D F F A A
modern thought can get the best of you.

Bm Bm D D
This rather simple epitaph
G G A A G G Asus4 Asus4
can save your hide your falling mind
Bm Bm D D
fate isn't what we're up against
G G A A G G Asus4 Asus4
there's no design no flaws to find
G G A A G G Asus4 Asus4
there's no design no flaws to find.

G G D D A A D D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
G G D D F F A A
know I got this side of me that
G G D D A A D D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G G D D F F A A
fly the whole mess into the sea.
