[Intro] D# A# [Verse]
D#                A#      A#maj7
I felt a funeral in my brain

D#                      A#   A#maj7
And mourners to and fro

D#                              A#    A#maj7
Kept treading - treading - 'til it seemed

C7                         D#
That sense was breaking through
[Verse]
D#                       A#   A#maj7
And when they all were seated

D#                     A#   A#maj7
A service, like a drum

D#                              A#    A#maj7
Kept beating - beating - 'til I thought

    C7                D#
My mind was going numb

D#/E
My mind was going
[Refrain]
G7                        G7sus4
And then I heard them lift a box

Cm                   F7
And creak across my soul

            A#                    A#maj7
With those same boots of lead, again

      G7       Cm            F
Then space - space began to toll
[Verse]
D#                               A#  A#maj7
As all the heavens were a bell

D#                               A#  A#maj7
And Being but an ear

D#                                       A#  A#maj7
And I, and silence, some strange race

C7                      D#
Wrecked, solitary, here
[Bridge]
D#                               A#  A#maj7
And then a plank in reason broke

D#                               A#  A#maj7
And I dropped down, and down

D#                               A#  A#maj7
And hit a world at every plunge

C7                              D#
And finished knowing, then

D#/E
And finished knowing
[Refrain]
G7                        G7sus4
And then I heard them lift a box

Cm                   F7
And creak across my soul

            A#                    A#maj7
With those same boots of lead, again

      G7       Cm            F
Then space - space began to toll
[Outro]
D#                A#         A#maj7
I felt a funeral in my brain

D#                      A#  A#maj7
And mourners to and fro

D#                              A#  A#maj7
Kept treading - treading - 'til it seemed

C7                         D#
That sense was breaking through
