  G                        Am
I walk through my days
          F             G
    in a specified daze, 
        G             Am         F           Em      C 
         Speculation's, a specialization, of mine. 

G              Am
Creating a maze, 
        F                 G
     a complicated cage, 
               G            Am     F       Em              C
         this map I've made, often betrays, the mind.

        G                    Am
Little bins and little boxes, 
             F                 G
     little t's met with crosses. 
G            Am         F     G      Am
Box after box I do put things in, 
     G                Am    F     G    Am
     friends and foes, different kin, 
                  F           Em      C      G      C/G
          and I fear, I'll begin, again. 
   
      C             C/E                Am   G   F
The only little box I want to put you in,
           G                  Am
     is a house a little home, 
                      F               G
            with a fence built in. 
            G                         Am
     with windows and with doors
                    F          G
            and a bed within

     Am (sus4)         Gsus4      Csus4
A space to see the face of a friend. 
       Am (sus4)             Gsus4        Csus4
    A place to plead our case to the end. 
             Am (sus4)   Gsus4     F    G    Am      G
          A hand to hold with a golden band. 

  G                    Am
I wake up these days, 
      F               G
     plotting my way. 
G                         Am
Trudging through grey,  
     F                       Em         C
      becoming each day, this man. 

G           Am
Loving a women, 
                       F                   G
       whose not right and not wrong. 
             G                    Am
She's not weak and not strong, 
              F                   Em               C            C/G
        but loved forever long, by her man.     'Cause, 


 C             C/E                Am   G   F
The only little box I want to put you in,
           G                  Am
     is a house a little home, 
                      F               G
            with a fence built in. 
            G                         Am
     with windows and with doors
                    F          G
            and a bed within

     Am (sus4)         Gsus4      Csus4
A space to see the face of a friend. 
       Am (sus4)             Gsus4        Csus4
    A place to plead our case to the end. 
             Am (sus4)   Gsus4     F    G    Am      G
          A hand to hold with a golden band.
