[Verse]
F A
I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons
F A
Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...
F A
Time is of the essence, shall I put up some resistance?
F A
Cursed with the awareness of my own existance
It's only a matter of...
[Chorus]
C G#
Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail (Yes)
D A
That boxes me together forever it forms the seal (Yes)
F A# C# G# C# G# C# G# C# G#
Is the knowledge of my own existance real?

[Bridge I]
Bm G B
A slice of life a piece of mind
A D
Laid on a plate of my own kind
A# C
I'll take a key from the gravy
D Bm G Bm A D A# C D Bm
And unlock the cage that holds the ravens in
A A A A F# F F E
A A A F# F F E
A# G#
What's it like flying high?
F# F A A# G#
I've a cone for a beak, but the tar makes me cry
F#
That hol ds me together, tarred and feathered
[Bridge II]
Bm E A D
Breathing home, hoping for the day
Bm E A D
The radio and television's thrown the rest away
Bm E A D
Oh dear me, look who's come around
Bm E A G G
Now all I have to do is hide my body in the ground
G G G
It's all I have to do
[Outro]
C Gm F
When they who to the sea go down
Am G Am G
And in the waters ply their toil
C C# G# A# C
Are lifted on the surges crown
B A B G
And plunged where seething eddies boil
