I'm the (E major) an swer to his riddle

I'm the spoon (E major) wedged between
tongue and teeth (D minor)
Beneath (E minor) his trem (E major) bling grin
Verse 3
And I dare (E major) add my revision

And I wel (E minor) come any (E major) Saul (E minor)
(E major) Sitting in this room, on wooden bench
Waiting for Joi to call

I've been wait (A minor) ing here
For what now seems (C major) the

(E minor) I've raised every crippled (A minor) ques (E minor) tion
From the dead (A minor) and given power (E minor)
(A minor) To the absence
Verse 10
of my sanity
The presence (E minor) of a fear
(E major) That lies in between forgotten dreams
That pile up every year
Verse 11
Up above (E major) the highest testaments
Down below the wooden floor
There's a gutted room,
pitch black at noon
Beneath a hidden door
Verse 12
Deep within (E major) you'll find
The attributes of every sunken (E minor) man
(E major) Who must bang his head
against the dead
Each day he tries to stand
Verse 13
And he's standing (E major) pressed against
The very (E minor) woman (A minor) (E major) that he loves (E minor)
(E major) Kissing eyes and lips,
embracing hips
Surrendering to her touch
Verse 14
And just (E major) at the very moment
That he touches (E minor) heart to heart
She pulls (E major) from his touch
'Cause it's too much to mend
what's torn (A minor) apart (E minor) (A minor)

Each (A minor) time I put them under
But still they wanna test (G major) me (D minor)
I cry out through the thun (C major) der

I search (A minor) and I ponder
I question and won (G major) der (D minor)

(C major) Please let me in (A minor)
Verse 17
It's so (A minor) hard to (Gsus4) be the man
(A minor) I (G major) (C major) would be (D minor)
If hatred (C major) (D minor) and (F major) fear no
longer appeared (E major) (A minor)
I swear I've be (G major) come
the skin (A minor) of (C major) a drum
(D minor) The heart (A minor) of (C major) a man,
divided (G major) I stand
