D Bb G
A cold and wet November dawn
D Bb C
and there are no barking sparrows
D F A
just emptiness to dwell upon.
D Bb G
I fell into a winter slide
D Bb C
and ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
D F A
just eking out my measly pies.
Chorus:
G D A D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
G D F A
know there is this side of me that
G D A D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G D F A
fly the whole mess into the sea.
D Bb G
Another slow train to the coast
D Bb C
some brand new gory art from way on high
D F A
I sink and then I swim all night.
D Bb G
I watch the ice melt on the glass
D Bb C
while the eloquent young pilgrims pass
D F
and leave behind their trail
C A
imploring us not to fail.
G D A D
Of course I raised to gather courage from those
G D F A
lofty tales so tried and true and
G D A D
if you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
G D F A
modern thought can get the best of you.
Bm D
This rather simple epitaph
G A G A/Asus4
can save your hide your falling mind
Bm D
fate isn't what we're up against
G A G A/Asus4
there's no design no flaws to find
G A G A/Asus4
there's no design no flaws to find.
G D A D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
G D F A
know I got this side of me that
G D A D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G D F A
fly the whole mess into the sea.
