[Cm] After all, [G] this implements [Gm] a text design [F] way too lex, [Eb] too vexed to find [F] evidently [Bb] there's

[Cm] And though [G] the scenes do [Gm] bust divine in [F] ancient fading [Eb] lines, the sentiment [F] is just as [Bb] hard
to pluck from the vine.
[Ab] I try hard not to [F] pretend, [Ab] allow myself no mock [G] defense, step into [Cm] the night.
[G] Since I don't [Bb] have the time, no [F] mind to figure [Eb] out the nursery [F] rhymes that helped us [Bb] out,
making sense of our lives.
[Cm] Cruel, [G] uneventful [Bb] state of [F] apathy releases me, [Eb] a valued [F] dance, but I can't [Bb] try, I'm on my guard.
[Ab] I try hard not [F] to give in, [Ab] and batten down to [F] bear the wind, [G] [Ab] rid my head of [F] this pretend,
