Intro 1
(E flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major)
(E flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major)
Verse 1
I was (E flat major) raised up believing
I was (A flat major) somehow unique
Like a (E flat major) snowflake
distinct among snowflakes,
u (A flat major) nique in each way you can (E flat major) see
And now (E flat major) after some thinking,
I'd say (A flat major) I'd rather be
A (E flat major) functioning cog in some great machinery
(A flat major) serving something beyond (E flat major) me

Chorus 1
But I (E flat major) don't, I don't know what that will (A flat major) be
I'll get (E flat major) back (A flat major) to you (E flat major) someday (A flat major) soon
you will (E flat major) see (E flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major)
Verse 2
What's my (E flat major) name, what's my station?
Oh, just (A flat major) tell me what I should do
I don't (E flat major) need to be kind to the armies of night
that would (A flat major) do such injustice to (E flat major) you
Or bow (E flat major) down and be grateful
and say, (A flat major) "Sure, take all that you see"
To the (E flat major) men who move only in dimly-lit halls
and de (A flat major) termine my future for (E flat major) me
Chorus 2
And I (E flat major) don't, I don't know who to be (A flat major) lieve
I'll get (E flat major) back (A flat major) to you (E flat major) someday (A flat major) soon
you will (E flat major) see (E flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major)
Verse 3
If I (E flat major) know only one thing,
it's that (A flat major) everything that I see
Of the (E flat major) world outside is so inconceivable
(A flat major) often I barely can (E flat major) speak
Yeah I'm (E flat major) tongue-tied and dizzy
and I (A flat major) can't keep it to myself
What (E flat major) good is it to sing helplessness blues,
why should (A flat major) I wait for anyone (E flat major) else?
Chorus 3
And I (E flat major) know, I know
you will keep me on the (A flat major) shelf
I'll come (E flat major) back (A flat major) to you (E flat major) someday (A flat major) soon

Verse 4
If I had an orchard, (F minor)
I'd (E flat major) work 'til I'm (F minor) raw
If I (F minor) had an orchard, (E flat major)
I'd work 'til I'm (A flat major) sore
And (G minor) you would (A flat major) wait (F minor) ta bles (A flat major)
and (E flat major) soon run the store (A flat major)
Verse 5
Gold (E flat major) hair in the sunlight, (F minor)
my (E flat major) light in the dawn (F minor)
If I (F minor) had an orchard, (E flat major)
I'd work 'til I'm (A flat major) sore
If I (G minor) had (A flat major) an or (F minor) (A flat major) chard
I'd (E flat major) work 'til I'm (A flat major) sore

(G minor) Someday (A flat major) I'll (F minor) be (A flat major) like
the man (E flat major) on the (A flat major) screen (A flat major)
(A flat major) (A flat major) (A flat major) (A flat major)
(A flat major) (D flat major) (A flat major)
(E flat major)
