A              Bm            F#m             C#m
Saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye
      D                 A             G                      D
Said would you go much faster if you thought that you would die 
        A                Bm             F#m             C#m
He said not me sir, I could not care, in fact I would not try 
 D                 A                G                D
Protest would not take me far, it's different me not being a star    
   B                          D            A
I lock my feelings in a jar, until another day 
 
A               Bm                F#m              C#m
Comfort me dear brother, would you tell me what you know 
D                 A                 G                D
Somewhere in this paper world, is a place where I can go  
    A           Bm            F#m              C#m
Oh, long awaited mother is it time to make your show 
    D                A              G                 D
And take your babies to your breast, knowing them will pass the test 
 B                                  D              A
All our sin's should be confessed, before we carry on

E            Bm              G                 D       A
Oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me you'll follow my shame 
E           Bm              G             D           A
No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the name of the game 
 
A            Bm             F#m           C#m
Got up on my pillow and I looked up at the sun  
     D                   A              G                    D
Said you could see quite cleary now, the things that we have done 
   A                  Bm            F#m             C#m
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won 
D             A              G                D
Did we get so very far, it's different me not being a star    
  B                            D            A
I lock my feelings in a jar, until they go away
