CHORUS:

   G5            G5         C5           G5
I don't know a cave from a hole in the ground
  E5           G5          C5            D5
I wandered an age through a cool and dark cage
         G5         G5         C5          E5
Tried finding my way by touch, taste, sense, sound
         G5           G5         D5           G5
But no way out of hell, as the sin is on stage (1st time)
But I'm here and I hope I won't see old age (2nd)
But I figure the solitude's my only wage (3rd)
And long past the point of pretending to rage (Last)
 
G5                 G5                     G5                  

VERSE 1:

  E5         E5         E5            G5
I wonder what happened up there to my truck
 C5               C5               D5                  D5
Left parked with a load, no doubt long since been towed
E5            E5           E5       G5
I never expected to have such strange luck
E5           E5            A5               E5 
I should have obeyed what that road sign forebode

E5           E5           E5

E5           E5          E5          G5
Cavefish is delicious, but only if cooked
C5              C5          D5                D5
You'll mess it up bad, well let's leave it at that
E5         E5            E5          G5
I've eaten whenever, whatever I've hooked
C5            C5              D5             G5
I'd kill for the thrill of a meal with some fat

G5             G5                G5

CHORUS

VERSE 2:
I don't know my soul from a hole in the dark
I'd wake from my sleep and I'd silently weep
I once knew a girl who loved me as a lark
My pain, she explains, is what made me so deep

I thought I was ever so lonesome at home
It needled at me until I couldn't see
The forest for trees nor the sea for the foam
And I took up the job that was all absentee

CHORUS

VERSE 3:
The miles and also the hours were strained
Kept my hands on the wheel, it was solid and real
And wind blew and snow fell and storms rumbled and rained
And I drove through it all but found I could still feel

Inspire me world, I was writing a song
Saw a sign for the cave, thought "artistic" and "brave"
I grabbed my guitar and I moseyed along
and though I hate to state it, I entered my grave
