Verse 1:
 A          C
It's hidden far away,
 G                D
But someday I may tell.
 A                E 
The tale of metal tangle,
 Em                  D               
When into your world I fell.
 A                C
Without you now I wander,
 G               D
Soaking secretly afraid.
 A                   E 
'Cause in your grasp the fears don't last,
 Em                   D                 
And some of them have stayed.


Chorus:
 A               D         E
I wheeled around because I didn't,
 D                A
Hear what you had said.
 A           D           E
And saw you dancing with Elihu,
 D             A
Up on Leemor's bed.
 A        D            E
And I was foggy rather groggy,
 D                 A
You helped me to my car.
 A          D              E
The binding belt enclosing me,
 D             A
A sample in a jar.

Verse 2:
 A                       C
And on the market stands unfolding,
               G                 D
With all their willies and their wares.
 A           E 
I shuffle by alert but numb,
 Em                    D                   
To all the glances and the glares.
 A                 C
And I think of you unheeding,
 G                    D
All the times I raise my cup,
 A              E 
It's now I know that you knew,
 Em                   D                
That I'd soon end up, end up.


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
 A                      C        
You tricked me like the others,
    D           A
And now I don't belong,
 C                    D 
The simple smiles and good times,
 D       E 
Seem all wrong. 


(Repeat Chorus)


Coda:

 D             A

A sample in a jar.
A D E
 D             A
A sample in a jar.
