oh how he handsome, scheduled to hang to death 
         G                  D

(Listen to the song to get the strumming pattern) 

           Em                   G 
Hes like a mirror.  He sticks into our ears 
        Em                        G 
a stethoscope to the chest of the vacant years. 
        Em                       G 
I cant escape the chair, Im etherized with fear

           C                   Em 
but in the real world, an intertidal cave, 
         G                        D 
I ride a desk chair waiting for a tidal wave 
            C                    Am    C  Em 
I feel like dancing, but that is miles away 
           C                     D 
Im feeling hard and  hollow like paper mache. 

         C              Em 
My alter ego.  Hes in a jailers cage 
            G                       D 
he sits and waits for the devil to abet his escape.

All of the bibles in the world for a metal file. 

         C                          Em 
At every clock strike, he hears the jailers keys 
        G                              D 
and the doubt starts to sprout til hes on his knees. 
         C                     Em G     Em 
and he remembers like its his mothers call 
           G                        D 
to feel his hand find a grip at the top of the wall. 

              C                  G 
and I want to feel it, I want to feel the fire  
       C                   G 
of the leftover sun on the roofing tiles. 
          C                  G 
I want to feel it, I want to feel the fire
