--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | D Dsus2 | C | D Dsus2 | C | [Verse 1]
D                  Dsus2
Wrapped up in some powdered wool

  C
I guess I'm losing touch.

      D               Dsus2
Don't tell me this is dying

       C
'Cause I ain't changed that much

    F/G
The only sound is water drops

  G/F                     A
I wonder where the hell I am

             A/G
Some kind of jam?

  F#m    G#m         F#m          G#m     | F#(add11) |
Cuckoo Cocoon have I come to, too soon for you?
[Verse 2]
        D             Dsus2
There's nothing I can recognize

        C
This is nowhere that I've known

     D          Dsus2
With no sign of life at all

  C
I guess that I'm alone

      F/G
And I feel so secure

       G/F                A
That I know this can't be real

      A/G
But I feel good

  F#m    G#m         F#m          G#m     | F#(add11) |

  D               Dsus2
I wonder if I'm a prisoner

       C
Locked in some Brooklyn jail

   D            Dsus2
Or some sort of Jonah

     C
Shut up inside the whale.

F/G
No, I'm still Rael

        G/F                   A
And I'm stuck in some kind of cave

              A/G
What could've saved me?
