Transcribed by August McAllister Running Time: 8:15 Standard tuning - Key of E flat minor (Ebm ) INTRO B5 B5 A5 I got sunshine in my stomach G5 B5 Like I just rocked my baby to sleep. B5 A5 I got sunshine in my stomach G5 A5 G5 A5 But I can't keep me from creeping sleep, G5 A5 B5 Sleep, deep in the deep. B5 - Hold -------- VERSE INTRO Eb5 Bb5 B5 C#5 -------- VERSE Eb5 Bb5 - 2x Eb5 Rockface moves to press my skin Bb5 White liquid turn sour within Eb5 Turn fast - turn sour Bb5 Turn sweat - turn sour. Eb5 Must tell myself that I'm not here. Bb5 I'm drowning in a liquid fear. Eb5 Bottled in a strong compression, Bb5 My distortion shows obsession -------- BRIDGE Eb5 Bb5 In the cave Eb5 Bb5 Get me out of this cave! -------- CHORUS Eb5 Ab5 If I keep my self-control, Eb5 Ab5 I'll be safe in my soul. Eb5 Ab5 And the childhood belief Eb5 Ab5 Brings a moment's relief, C#5 But my cynic soon returns Ab5 And the lifeboat burns. C#5 A5 F#5 My spirit just never learns. -------- VERSE Eb5 Stalactites, stalagmites Bb5 Shut me in, lock me tight. Eb5 Lips are dry, throat is dry. Bb5 Feel like burning, stomach churning, Eb5 I'm dressed up in a white costume Bb5 Padding out leftover room. Eb5 Bb5 Body stretching, feel the wretching -------- BRIDGE Eb5 Bb5 In the cage Eb5 Bb5 Get me out of the cage! -------- CHORUS Eb5 Ab5 In the glare of a light, Eb5 Ab5 I see a strange kind of sight; Eb5 Ab5 Of cages joined to form a star Eb5 Ab5 Each person can't go very far; C#5 All tied to their things Ab5 They're netted by their strings, C#5 A5 F#5 Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings. -------- SOLO (Bear with me here. I'll try to space the chords depending on timing, but ultimately you'll have to listen to the song to figure it out.) Eb(no5) - 4x Eb5 F5 F5 Eb5 F5 Eb5 F5 Bb5 Eb5 Ab5 Eb5 Ab5 Bb5 Eb5 Ab5 - 7x Eb5 Ab5 E5 A5 Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Db5 B5 F#5 Eb5 Ab5 Db5 Bb5 Ab5 Bb5 D?(7) Eb5 - 2x D?(7) Eb5 Hold Eb note -------- VAMP Ab5 Eb5 Bb5 Ab5 C#5 Eb5 F5 D5 Outside the cage I see my Brother John, Eb5 He turns his head so slowly round. Bb5 I cry out Help! before he can be gone, Eb5 Bb5 And he looks at me without a sound. D5 And I shout out 'John please help me!' Eb5 Bb5 But he does not even want to try to speak. Eb5 Bb5 I'm helpless in my violent rage Ab5 Eb5 Fm7(no5) Eb5 And a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek, Ab5 Bb5 Eb5 And I watch him turn away and leave the cage. Bb5 My little runaway. Eb5 Ab5 Eb5 Ab5 Bb5 Eb5 Ab5 - fade into verse. (HOLD Eb note.) Raindrops keep falling on my head, they keep falling on my... -------- VERSE Eb5 Bb5 Eb5 In a trap, feel a strap Bb5 Holding still. Pinned for kill. Eb5 Chances narrow that I'll make it, Bb5 In the cushioned straight-jacket. Eb5 Just like 22nd Street, Bb5 They got me by my neck and feet. Eb5 Pressures building, can't take more. Eb5 My headaches charge, earaches roar. -------- BRIDGE Eb5 Bb5 In this pain, Eb5 Bb5 Get me out of this pain! -------- CHORUS Eb5 Ab5 If I could change to liquid, Eb5 Ab5 I could fill the cracks up in the rocks. Eb5 Ab5 I know that I am solid Eb5 Ab5 And I am my own bad luck. C#5 Ab5 Outside John disappears, my cage dissolves, C#5 A5 F#5 without any reason my body revolves. -------- ENDING Eb5 Bb5 Keep on turning, Eb5 Bb5 Keep on turning, Eb5 Bb5 Turning around, Eb5 Bb5 spinning around. Eb5 Bb5 - repeatedly. End on Eb5 .
