Cave

   G            G         C      
I don't know a cave from a hole 
     G
in the ground
  Em           G          C      
I wandered an age through a cool 
      D
and dark cage
         G         G         
Tried finding my way by touch, 
C          Em
taste, sense, sound
         G           G         D 
But no way out of hell, as the 
          G
sin is on stage (1st time)
But I'm here and I hope I won't see 
old age (2nd)
But I figure the solitude's my only 
wage (3rd)
And long past the point of 
pretending to rage (Last)

G                 G

VERSE 1:

  Em         Em         Em       
I wonder what happened up there 
     G
to my truck
 C               C               
Left parked with a load, no doubt
D                  D
 long since been towed
Em            Em           
I never expected to have such 
Em       G
strange luck

Em           Em            Am   
I should have obeyed what that 
            Em
road sign forebode

Em           Em           Em

Em           Em          Em     
Cavefish is delicious, but only 
     G
if cooked
C              C          D     
You'll mess it up bad, well 
           D
let's leave it at that
Em         Em            Em     
I've eaten whenever, whatever 
     G
I've hooked
C            C              D   
I'd kill for the thrill of a 
          G
meal with some fat

G             G                G

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
I don't know my soul from a hole in 
the dark
I'd wake from my sleep and I'd 
silently weep
I once knew a girl who loved me as a
 lark
My pain, she explains, is what made 
me so deep

I thought I was ever so lonesome at 
home
It needled at me until I couldn't 
see
The forest for trees nor the sea for
 the foam
And I took up the job that was all 
absentee

CHORUS

VERSE 3:
The miles and also the hours were 
strained
Kept my hands on the wheel, it was 
solid and real
And wind blew and snow fell and 
storms rumbled and rained
And I drove through it all but found
 I could still feel

Inspire me world, I was writing a 
song
Saw a sign for the cave, thought 
"artistic" and "brave"
I grabbed my guitar and I moseyed 
along
and though I hate to state it, I 
entered my grave
