Intro 1
(E minor) (F major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor) (F major) (E minor) (D major) (G major)
Verse 1
Yes, (D major)
I was raised up believing
I was somehow (G major) unique
Like a snowflake (D major) distinct
among snowflakes
Unique (G major) in each way you can see (D major)
And now after some thinking
I'd say I'd (G major) much rather be
A (D major) functioning cog in some great machinery
(A major) Serving (G major) something beyond (D major) me
But I don't know,
I don't know what (G major) that will be
I'll get (D major) back to (G major) you someday, (D major)
soon we'll (G major) see (D major)
What's my name?
What's my station?
Well just tell (G major) me what I should do
I don't (D major) need to be kind to
the armies of night
that would (G major) do such injustice to you (D major)
Oh, bow down an (E minor) d be grate (D major) ful
And say, (G major) sure, take all that you see
To the (D major) men who move only in dim -lit halls
And determ (G major) ine my future for me (D major)
And I (G major) (D major) don't,
I don't know who (G major) to believe
I'll get back (D major) to (G major) you someday, (D major)
soon (G major) we'll see (D major)
Yeah, if I know only one thing
It's that everything (G major) that I see
Of the (A major) world outside is so
inconceivable (B minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (D major)
And I can (G major) 't keep it to myself
What good (D major) is it to sing these
helplessness blues?
(A major) should I (G major) wait for somebody else?
(D major) And I know,
I know (F sharp minor) you will keep (G major) me on the shelf
I'll come (D major) back to (G major) you someday (D major) soon
You, (F major) (E minor) must (D major) you
If I had (A major) an orchard, (E minor) I'd (D major) work till I'm (E minor) raw
If I had an (D major) orchard, I'd work till (A major) I'm (D major) (G major) sore
And (F sharp minor) you would wait tables (E minor)
and soon (D major) run the store (G major)
Gold hair (D major) in the sun (E minor) light,
my light (D major) in the (E minor) dawn
If I had an orchard, (D major) I'd work till I'm (G major) sore
If I (D major) had (F sharp minor) (D major) an orchard, (E minor)
I'd (D major) work till I'm (G major) sore (A major) (D major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
Someday (D major) (F sharp minor) I'll (D major) be (E minor) like
the man (D major) on the screen (G major) you
