_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
You've been caught in the world [Am] you've been cornered [Em] by your natural desire.
[F] You want to hop along with the giddy throng [C] through life.
But how you [Em] learn to steer [F] when you're grinding [G] all your gears.
_ _ [C] You've been talking [Am] for hours.
[Em] You said time will wash every [F] tower to the sea.
[C] And now you've got [Em] this.
Well [F] _ _ [G] _ _ I [F] guess it's only [C] life, it's only [G] natural.
_ We [F] all spend a little [C] while going down the rabbit [G] hole.
_ The [Am] things they taught you, they're lining up [C] to haunt you.
They got your back against [G] the wall.
[F] _ _ [Em] _ _ [F] Call you on the telephone, won't you pick [G] up the receiver.
[C] _ I've been down a [G] very road [F]-locked kid [C] now.
It doesn't have to be [Em] so dark [F] and [C] lonesome.
Takes a while but we [G] can figure [F] this thing [Em] out and turn it back [G] around.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [C] You used to be such a [Am] lion.
_ [Em] Before you got into all [F] this crying on my lap.
[C] Back when you thought [Em] I'd never [F] this [G] far. _ _
[F] But did you really [C] think I'd shut an open [G] door?
_ The [F] future's calling [C] and I'mma answer.
[G] _ The [Am] wheels in motion, I never drank [C] your potion.
And I know it breaks [G] your [F] heart.
_ [Em] _ _ [F] Open up your parachute, something's gotta [G] stop a free fall.
[C] _
I've been down a [G] very road [F]-locked kid [C] now.
It doesn't have to be [Em] so dark [F] and [C] lonesome.
Takes a while but we [G] can figure [F] this [Em] thing out and turn it back [G] _ around.
