[Verse]
E G#
I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons
E G#
Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...
E G#
Time is of the essence, shall I put up some resistance?
E G#
Cursed with the awareness of my own existance
It's only a matter of...
[Chorus]
B G
Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail (Yes)
C# G#
That boxes me together forever it forms the seal (Yes)
E A C G C G C G C G
Is the knowledge of my own existance real?

[Bridge I]
A#m F# A#
G# slice of life a piece of mind
G# C#
Laid on a plate of my own kind
A B
I'll take a key from the gravy
C# A#m F# A#m G# C# A B C# A#m
And unlock the cage that holds the ravens in

A G
What's it like flying high?
F E G# A G
I've a cone for a beak, but the tar makes me cry

That hol ds me together, tarred and feathered
[Bridge II]
A#m D# G# C#
Breathing home, hoping for the day
A#m D# G# C#
The radio and television's thrown the rest away
A#m D# G# C#
Oh dear me, look who's come around
A#m D# G# F# F#
Now all I have to do is hide my body in the ground
F# F# F#
It's all I have to do
[Outro]
B F#m E
When they who to the sea go down
G#m F# G#m F#
And in the waters ply their toil
B C G A B
Are lifted on the surges crown
A# G# A# F#
And plunged where seething eddies boil
