Intro: Bb Dm (2x)
    Bb                Dm
A man of a thousand faces

Bb               Dm
Sits down at the table

Gm                   Bb
Eats a small lump of sugar

    Gm                         Bb
And smiles at the moon like he knows her

Dm                       Bb
   And begins his quiet ascension

Dm                             Bb
   Without anyone's sturdy instruction

F                    Bb-F
 To a place of no religion

Gm
  Has found a path to our alikeness

Bb                        Dm
  His words are quiet like stains are

Bb                             Dm
  On a table cloth washed in a river

F                         Bb-F            Bb-F
Stains that are trying to cover, for each other

Gm
  Or at least blend in with the pattern

Bb                    Dm
  Good is better than perfect

Bb                          Dm
  Scrub til your fingers are bleeding

Gm                   Bb         
  And I'm crying for things that 

Gm                            Bb
  I tell others to do without crying

Dm                              Bb
  He used to go to his favorite bookstores

Dm                         Bb
  And rip out his favorite pages

Gm                              Bb
  And stuff them into his breast pocket

Gm                          Bb
  And the moon to him was a stranger

Dm                        Bb
  Now he sits down at the table

Dm                  Bb
  Right next to the window

Gm                     Bb
  And begins his quiet ascension

Gm                        Bb
  Without anyone's sturdy instruction

Gm                 Bb
  To a place of no religion

Gm                         Bb
  Has found a path to our alikeness

Gm                        Bb
  And eats a small lump of sugar

Gm                               C
  And smiles at the moon like he knows her
