_ _ _ The night [Db] set softly with the hush of falling _ _ leaves
[A] _
_ _ Casting shivering shadows on the houses [G] through the _ trees
And _ the light [Gb] from a street lamp paints a pattern on my [C] wall
[G] _ _ _ _ [A]
Like the pieces of a puzzle or a _ child's uneven scroll _ _ _ _
Up a narrow flight of stairs in a [F] narrow little room
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ As I lie upon my bed [D] in the early evening [Cm] _ _
gloom
_ _ _ [Dm] Impaled on my wall, my eyes can [F] dimly see _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [D] The pattern of my [Cm] life and the puzzle that is [Dm] me _ _
[A] _ _ _ From the moment of my birth to the [Dm] instant of my [C] _ _ death _
_ There are patterns I [Eb] must follow just as I must breathe [C] each _ breath _ _ _
[A] Like a rat in a maze, the path before [F] me lies
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ And the pattern [Cm] never alters [Bb] until [Cm] the [D] rat [Dm] dies

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Patterns still remain on the [Dm] wall where darkness [G]
fell
_ _ [Dm] _ _ And it's fitting that it [Gm] should, for in darkness I [C] must _ _ dwell
_ Like [Dm] the color of my skin or the day that I [C] grow _ old _
_ My life is made [Cm] of patterns [Bb] that can scarcely [Cm] be [A] controlled _ _ _
