Capo 4th
C G/B F2/A
Sunset is an angel weeping
C G/B F2/A
Holding out a bloody sword
C G/B F2/A
No matter how I squint I cannot
C G/B F2/A
Make out what it's pointing toward
F G
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
C C/B Am Am/G
Days drip slowly on the page
F
You catch yourself
G C
Pacing the cage
C G/B F2/A
I've proven who I am so many times
C G/B F2/A
The magnetic strips worn thin
C G/B F2/A
And each time I was someone else
C G/B F2/A
And everyone was taken in
F G
Powers chatter in high places
C C/B Am Am/G
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
F G C
Set me to pacing the cage
C G/B F2/A
I never knew what you all wanted
C G/B F2/A
So I gave you everything
C G/B F2/A
All that I could pillage
C G/B F2/A
All the spells that I could sing
F G
It's as if the thing were written
C C/B Am Am/G
In the constitution of the age
F G
Sooner or later you'll wind up
C
Pacing the cage
SOLO
C G/B F2/A
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
C G/B F2/A
You can't see what's round the bend
C G/B F2/A
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
C G/B F2/A
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
F G
Today these eyes scan bleached out land
C C/B Am Am/G
For the coming of the outbound stage
F G C
Pacing the cage
