Pacing The Cage

[Verse 1]
                   C        G
Sunset is an angel weeping
                     C      D  G
Holding out a bloody sword
                          C       G
No matter how I squint, I cannot
                            C
Make out what it's pointing toward
                            D    
Sometimes you feel like you lived 
            Em
too long
          D             Em     C  
Days drip slowly on the page

                              C    
You catch yourself pacing the cage

[Verse 2]
                        C          
I've proven who I am so many times
 G

                          C     D  G
The magnetic strip's worn thin
                    C             G
And each time I was someone else
Continúa después del anuncio
                       C
And everyone was taken in
                       D        Em
Powers chatter in high places
               D              Em  
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
   C

    Cmaj7            C      D  D7  G
Set me to pacing the cage


[Verse 3]
                          C       G
I never knew what you all wanted
                   C      D  G
So I gave you everything
                 C        G
All that I could pillage
                            C
All the spells that I could sing
                          D        
It's as if the thing were written
 Em

             D             Em    C
In the constitution of the age
          Cmaj7               
Sooner or later you'll wind up 
            C      D  D7
pacing the cage

[Verse 4]
                            C  
Sometimes the best map will not 
            G
guide you
                               C   
You can't see what's round the bend
  D  G

Sometimes the road leads through 
    C        D  G
dark places
Sometimes the darkness is your 
C
friend
                      D            
Today these eyes scan bleached out 
      Em
land
                      D        Em 
For the coming of the outbound 
    C   Cmaj7
stage
           C      Em   C   G
Pacing the cage
