[Intro 1]
[D][Dm][D][Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]In the dawning,
wakening hour
He'll lift his head and brush his
eyes with gentle strokes
That [Dm]will only [D]blindly mislead him
Into the [Em]first day [A]of [D]creation which
he [Em]only [A]sees in [D]limitation

[Verse 2]
[D]
Now he sits upon his empty bed
His heart is warm,
his heart is full and he can see
But it is im[Dm]possible for him to [D]retain me
For his [Dm]arm [D]s are wi[C]thout fo[D]rm,
[Em]he c[A]annot know[Bbdim] the word[A][D]
As [Em]his mind [A]cries out ab[D]surd

[Verse 3]
[D]
Now he's standing inside the doorway
He is afraid but he believes all
that he sees on the [Dm]floor
[D]Where everything is mergin[Dm]g[D]
[A]And [Em]pictures he sees[A] are tragi[D]c as
[Em]he begins to b[A]elieve i[D]n magic

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Now he lies down in a hole
Down in the ground where it is
cold and now he knows
Now he [Dm]realizes his biggest mis[D]take
That he [G]nev[A]er had [G]to [D]grow old,
and [Em]he never h[A]ad to grow c[D]old and die

[Outro 1]
[Em][A][D]
