Chords

[Intro] G C G C Am7 G [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                Em
Sometimes you feel like you lived too long

          D             Em     C  Cmaj7
Days drip slowly on the page

                              C      D  D7  G
You catch yourself pacing the cage
[Verse 2]
                        C           G
I've proven who I am so many times

                          C     D  G
The magnetic strip's worn thin

                    C             G
And each time I was someone else

                       C
And everyone was taken in

                       D        Em
Powers chatter in high places

               D              Em     C
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage

    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         Em
It's as if the thing were written

             D             Em    C
In the constitution of the age

          Cmaj7                           C      D  D7
Sooner or later you'll wind up pacing the cage
[Instrumental] G C G C G C G C G [Verse 4]
                            C              G
Sometimes the best map will not guide you

                               C     D  G
You can't see what's round the bend

                                     C        D  G
Sometimes the road leads through dark places

                               C
Sometimes the darkness is your friend

                      D                  Em
Today these eyes scan bleached out land

                      D        Em     C   Cmaj7
For the coming of the outbound stage

           C      Em   C   G
Pacing the cage

           C
Pacing the cage
