Poor Fractured Atlas

D
He's out in the woods with his 
squirrel gun
Dm
To try and recapture his anger
    G
He's screaming some words at the top
 of his lungs
 Em                      A
Until he begins to feel younger
   F#dim                    Em
But back at his desk in the city we 
find
   F#dim                    Em
Our trembling punch-drunken fighter
     B7              Em           
Who can't find the strength now to
  B7         Em
 punish the length
        G                  
Of the ribbon in his little 
      A
typewriter

           Threw himself across the 
mattress
        G              A
           Waving his withering 
pencil
        A                   D
           As if it were a pirate's 
cutlass
        Dm             C       G
           I'm almost certain
        Bb        A          D
           He's trying to increase 
his burden
        Em           B7           
           He said "That's how the
  Em            A
 child in me planned it,
              A7

understand it"

I believe there was something that I
 wanted to say
Before I conclude this epistle
But you would forgive me for holding
 my tongue
'Cause Man made the blade and the 
pistol
Yes, Man made the waterfall over the
 dam
To temper his tantrum with magic
Now you can't be sure of that tent 
of azure
Since he punched a hole in the 
fabric
