Man of a Thousand Faces Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
The [F]man
of a thousand [Am]faces[F]
Sits down at [Am]the table
[Dm]Eats a small lump of [F]sugar
And [Dm]smiles at the moon like he [F]knows her

[Verse 2]
[Am]He begins his quiet ascens[F]ion
[Am]Without anyone's steady instruction[F]
[C]To a place with no relig[F]ion
[C]He'[D]s found a path to

[Verse 3]
her likeness
[F]
His words are quiet [Am]like stains are
[F]On a tablecloth washed in a riv[Am]er
[C]Stains that are trying to [F]cover[C]
For each [F]other[C]
Or at [D]least blend in with the
pattern
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[F]
Good is better [Am]than [F]perfect
Scrub till your fingers [Am]are
[Dm]bleeding
And I'm crying [F]for things that
I tell [Dm]others to do without [F]cry[Am]ing

[Verse 5]
He used to go to his favorite [F]bookstores
[Am]And rip out his favorite pages[F]
[Dm]And stuff 'em into his breast pock[F]ets
The [Dm]moon, to him, was a stranger
[F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
Now he sits down [F]at a table[Am]
Right next to the win[F]dow[Dm]
And begins his quiet as[F]cension[Dm]
Without anyone's steady
in[F]struction[Dm]
To a place with no [F]religion[Dm]

[Verse 7]
He's found a path to her like[F]ness[Dm]
He eats a small lump [F]of sugar
[Dm]Smiles at the moon like he k[G]nows her
