[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
4 [C]in the morning
[Am]the sidewalk's asleep
Dogs on [C]the porch,
Spiders [G]on [Am]the leaf[G]
Shipwrecked by [Dm]night sailing
[G]through [Am]days
Nobody [F]no

[Verse 2]
[E]ticed the slipping
[Am]away[G][Am][C][Am]
Connect[G]ing [C]the dots
with thorns in [Am]his side
Boarded up the Win[C]dows with pain
and [Am]with pride[G]
The music box [Dm]broken that once
[Am]was [G]his soul[Am]
Its sad little [F]song

[Verse 3]
[E]spinning out of con
[Am]trol[C][G][Am][C][Am]
[C][Dm][G]
Then came [F]the storm [C]that
washed [Am]the roads o[G]ut
Closed both his [F]eye[C]s and poin
[G]ted straight [Am]south[G]
Second line [Dm]drums marched
into [G]the sea[Am]

[Verse 4]
While the clouds over[E]head
cried [Am]"mutiny"
They parted [F]for [E]Cathy
and her bit[Am]ter news
As her words [Dm]fail and
[Am]the sky [F]grew [Am]dim
Recalled how [E]close to that exit
[Am]l'vebeen
[C][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]Ours not to [Dm]repl[Am]y,
[C]ours not to [Dm]reas[E]on w[Am]hy[C]
The news [G]about [Am]William[G]
The [F]lifeline retreat[C]s
De[G]sire [F]for release
The [Am]thorns in his side
