Verse 1
(A minor) A monk with a heart
on a lavender robe
that (D minor) scratches his dyes
(A minor) for (E minor) the height (E major) that he strove
as he fol (A minor) lows a path filled with arid desire
and (D minor) mimic (E major) s his foot (A minor) steps
(E major) an (A minor) d (E major) sets his prayers on (A minor) fire.
Well, I too have chosen that which left no choice
to (D minor) sing without loving my (A minor) solit (Bdim) ary (E major) voice,
to (A minor) observe with passion
each careful denial
The pro (D minor) trusions
which give (F major) my life mean (Bdim) ing for (E major)
(A minor) a while (Asus4) (A minor)
Sometimes I see you in ber
(D minor) ries and weed (A minor) s
You're (C major) brushing your teeth
with (F major) licorice seeds
Standing too close, (B flat major) holding your clothes
Smil (E major) ing at God
that the meaning of life grows (A minor)
No, and I'll never tell
And I'll never know
What (D minor) candles you light
(A minor) After (Bdim) the show
(E major) And I'll (A minor) never tell
And I'll never ask
the (D minor) meaning of life af (E major) (D minor) ter (E major) mass. (A minor) (Asus4)
(A minor) (Asus4) (A minor) (D minor) (Bdim) (D minor) (E major)
(E major) (A minor) you
