G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 Clearing webs from a hovel a blistered hand on the handle of a shovel G Dsus4 Em7 Em7 Csus2 Csus2 Csus2 Csus2 I've been digging too deep, I always do G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd9 I see my face on the surface; I look a lot like Narcissus G Dsus4 Em7 Em7 Csus2 Csus2 Csus2 Csus2 A dark abyss of an emptiness standing on the edge of a drowning blue Em9 Em9 Cadd9 Cadd9 Em9 Em9 Cadd9 Cadd9/B I look behind my ears for the green, and even my sweat smells clean Am Am/B C A D Dsus2/C G/B G/D Glare off the white hurts my eyes Gotta get out of G D Cadd9 D G D Cadd9 D bed, get a hammer and a nail, learn how to use my hands; Not just my G D Cadd9 Cadd9 Am Am Em7 Em7 head, I'll think myself into jail; Now I know a refuge never grows from a chin C C A A Cadd9 Cadd9 Cadd9 Cadd9 in a hand in a thoughtful pose; Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose
