                                                     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?

                                                        F    A
Do they include everything and they change for every season

[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
