F#m G              A
It all spans out on a plane
Bm            A                D              E
Looking back, hardly a hill or valley still remains
    F#m G          A
The boy before the pain
Bm                  A                  D                   E  -
Still longs for the womb of love as he smashes down with a cane

          D                  A   
It builds up, then it breaks down
G                     D
It's your perception alone
        Bm              A   
Of grey hands taking control
G                A            -
But what can you do to prove it

F#m G               A
The flat waste of a life
Bm                 A                    D               E
How many times did you try and stop the bleeding with a knife
           F#m G          A
There's an incline to the floor
Bm                A                         D               E  -
And everything in your crooked life ends up rolling out the door

          D                  A    
It builds up, then it breaks down
G                         D
But it's your perception alone
        Bm                  A     
Of grey hands have taken control
G                A
But what can you do to prove it
G                 A           -
Look man, there's nothing to it

Bm                          F#m
What are you really getting at when you sing?
Bm                                F#m
There's something wrong and beautiful
Bm                        F#m
Kill a snake and make yourself pariah king
    G                                       A
The voice bleeds through the wall, no Jimmy no

F#m  G  A  - 
Bm  A  D  E  -

          D                  A    
It builds up, then it breaks down
G                     D
It's your perception alone
          Bm             A    
With your hand over your mouth
G                  A
God forbid it gets out
         Bm                    A   
The grey hands have got you in tow
G                A
But what can you do to prove it
G                 A
Look boy, there's nothing to it

Bm                          F#m
What are you really getting at when you sing?
Bm                             F#m

    G                                       A
The voice bleeds through the wall, no Jimmy no
