[Verse]
Bb                         Ab
Sunset is an angel weeping ■ 
Eb Bb                   Ab   
■  Holding out a bloody sword
Eb           Bb             Ab    
■  No matter how I squint I cannot
Eb          Bb                 Ab    
■  Make out what it's pointing toward
                            Bb            
Sometimes you feel like you lived too long
    Cm7                         
The days drip slowly on the page
Ab               Bbsus4   Eb         Ab  
■  And you catch yourself pacing the cage


[Chorus]
Eb Bb Bbsus4 Eb
■  ■  ■      ■ 


[Verse]
                Bb           Ab   
I've proved who I am so many times
Eb     Bb                    Ab  
■  The magnetic strip's worn thin
Eb          Bb         Ab          
■  And each time I was someone else
Eb     Bb           Ab      
■  And everyone was taken in


[Chorus]
                  Bb         
Powers chatter in high places
Cm      Cm7                        Ab
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage ■ 
Bb                      Ab   Bbsus4
■  Set me to pacing the cage ■     


[Verse]
Eb         Bb                Ab    
■  I never knew what you all wanted
Eb      Bb       Ab        
■  So I gave you everything
Eb     Bb           Ab     
■  All that I could pillage
Eb         Bb                  Ab  
■  All the spells that I could sing


[Chorus]
                          Bb     
It's as if the thing were written
       Cm7                    
In the constitution of the age
Ab                 Bbsus4                           Ab

[Verse]
              Bb                Ab       
Sometimes the best map will not guide you
Eb           Bb                    Ab  
■  You can't see what's 'round the bend


[Chorus]
Eb               Bb                      Ab    
■  Sometimes the road leads through dark places
Eb            Bb               Ab    
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
                      Bb              
Today these eyes scan bleachedout land
        Cm                     Cm7   Ab
For the coming of the outbound stage ■ 
Bbsus4 Bb            Ab   Bb         Ab
