Verse 1
He (G major) was in his room, half awake, half asleep (E minor)
The walls of the room (G major) seem
to alter angles
Elongating (D major) and (E minor) shrinking (C major) altern (G major) ately
Then twisting around (D major) com (E minor) pletely
so that (C major) he was on the (G major) opposite
Side of the room (D major)
A trick of the (E minor) light and too much (C major) caffeine,
he (G major) thought (E minor) (D major) (E flatdim) (E minor)
Then came (G major) a knock on the door
And this sound was (E minor) the same dark-brown
tone tone as the (G major) wood of which
The door (D major) was made
(E minor) At first, he thought (G major) he'd imagined (D major) it
(E flat major) Because (B major) it would not (E minor) have been
(G major) out of place with the other
Strange (D major) hallucin (E minor) atory events of that night
(G major) But then it came again
Only (D major) heavier this (B minor) time (E minor)
With a sense (G major) of real (E minor) urgency (B major)
(E minor) So pulling himself up
(G major) And step (E minor) ping through pools of
moonlight and shadow (B minor)
(G major) He (D major) made his bleary way across
the (E minor) room to (G major) wards the door
An (D major) d slowly, (E minor) apprehensively,
(G major) (D major) raised (E minor) the latch

Verse 2
The latch (E minor) became a fingertip,
touching his own (B minor) (B major) (E minor) (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (E minor)
Energy (G major) sapping (E minor) as a new (G major) form,
(E minor) transversing the edge of his
Emotions
His power became his (G major) agony,
(E minor) his power knew no bound (D major) s
(E minor) Whereas before,
his peace (G major) withstood the vast (D major) ness
His (E minor) prerogative became an endless
(G major) for (E minor) ce of the all impossible
His (G major) final soul (E minor) is fly (B major) ing
with (E minor) contempt only (D major)
(E minor) Even the legendary glance backward
(G major) to meet with eternity's (D major) stone
(B major) In peace (E minor) or save (G major) his already destroyed
You (D major) cannot (B major) share, (E minor) (G major) (D major) (B major) (E minor) (G major)
(D major) (B major) (E minor) (G major)
(E minor) (F sharp major) (E minor)
(G major) (D major) (B major) (E minor) (B minor) (E minor)
the (G major) tem (D major) perature (B major) is rising (E minor)
(G major) The ghost and monkeys make (D major) a choice (E minor)
(G major) This... (E minor) (B major) (E minor)
This... (G major) (D major) (E minor)
Verse 3
He tried (G major) to will himself back to bed
(D major) He (E minor) wanted (B major) desperately (E minor) to feel the
reassuring (G major) cris (D major) p, white sheets
(E minor) Once taken for granted (D major)
(E minor) To be back home, safe (G major) as houses,
protected by walls (D major) covered in
Familiar pat (E minor) terns
(G major) But even wallpaper had
become (D major) sinister (E flatdim) to him
He (B major) (E minor) (G major) remembered staring into the
paisley (D major) print and seeing (C major) a
Repetition of skulls (G major)
At night (D major) he would listen (E minor) to the click
of heels on the concrete
(C major) Outside
(D major) And try to (E minor) ima gine the facial
features (C major) of the unseen (G major) figure (D major)
(E minor) He would always see his own face
(G major) And another realization of this (D major) proph
(B major) ecy rang terrible (E minor) and true
For at this moment, it was indeed,
his own feet that filled (G major) the
Shoes (E minor)
Shoes that no man (B major) would want
to wear (E minor)

Verse 4
(E minor) Into the (B major) hill (E minor) s then to search (G major) for
another search (D major) er's closely (E minor)
Held goals (G major)
Into the forest (D major) (E minor) under (G major) the
(C major) bil (G major) lowing (D major) leaves (E flat major)
(B major) Un (E minor) der the dread (G major) ful (E minor) birds, the singing soil,
(G major) the de (E minor) crepid (G major) babies,
(D major) The un (E flat major) happy (E minor) new loves
(G major) The preaching (D major) (B major) (E minor) alphabetics,
the long-lost (G major) lovers never (D major) to find (B major)
The safety of (E minor) their mothers
(G major) In fact, all (D major) the guilty (E flat major) (E minor) clouds he
will move (G major) (D major) into a (B major) playground
(E minor) A sense of moonlight (G major) and shadow
All the (D major) stars (E flat major) touch (B major) (E minor) (G major) to the (D major) cold (E minor) (B major) mol (E minor) ten sunflower (G major) ,
fly (D major) to (B major) his
(E minor) Middle (G major) eye (E minor)
(G major) The (D major) (E flat major) (B major) (E minor) wallpaper
had (G major) sinister (B major) tones
Alas, (G major) white cold (D major) (E flat major) (B major)
(E minor) Alas, (G major) (E minor) rain (G major) bow's middle (D major) (B major)
(E minor) infinity's des (G major) tina (D major) tion.
