For example, "Abm/Eb" means this is still recognized

as an Abm chord, but the bass plays an Eb.

INTRO



Bm



Bm                   A

I got sunshine in my stomach

       G                      Bm

Like I just rocked my baby to sleep.

      Bm/F#          A/E

I got sunshine in my stomach

      G/D        A/C#    G/D      A/C#

But I can't keep me from creeping sleep,

G/D    A/C#        Bm

Sleep, deep in the deep.

VERSE



Ebm       Bbm   - 2x



Ebm

Rockface moves to press my skin

Bbm

White liquid turn sour within

Ebm

Turn fast - turn sour

Bbm

Turn sweat - turn sour.

Ebm

Must tell myself that I'm not here.

Bbm

I'm drowning in a liquid fear.

Ebm

Bottled in a strong compression,

Bbm

My distortion shows obsession



--------

BRIDGE





       Ebm          Bbm

In the cave

                   Ebm      Bbm

Get me out of this cave!



--------

CHORUS



   Eb                Ab

If I keep my self-control,

        Eb         Ab

I'll be safe in my soul.

        Eb          Ab

And the childhood belief

        Eb          Ab

Brings a moment's relief,

       C#m

But my cynic soon returns

        Ab

And the lifeboat burns.

   C#m    A           F#

My spirit just never learns.



--------

VERSE



Ebm

Stalactites, stalagmites

Bbm

Shut me in, lock me tight.

Ebm

Lips are dry, throat is dry.

Bbm

Feel like burning, stomach churning,

Ebm

I'm dressed up in a white costume

Bbm

Padding out leftover room.

Ebm                                 Bbm

Body stretching, feel the wretching

BRIDGE

In the cage

                  Ebm      Bbm

Get me out of the cage!



--------

CHORUS



       Eb         Ab

In the glare of a light,

        Eb              Ab

I see a strange kind of sight;

   Eb              Ab

Of cages joined to form a star

     Eb              Ab

Each person can't go very far;

C#m

All tied to their things

Ab

They're netted by their strings,

C#m     A                            F#

Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings.

Outside the cage I see my Brother John,

                     Eb

He turns his head so slowly round.

                  Bb

I cry out Help! before he can be gone,

       Eb                           Bb

And he looks at me without a sound.

      Ddim

And I shout out 'John please help me!'

       Eb                           Bb

But he does not even want to try to speak.

    Eb                          Bb

I'm helpless in my violent rage

      Ab             Eb             Fm7(no5)   Eb

And a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek,

      Abm            Bb                  Ebsus4

And I watch him turn away and leave the cage.

   Bb

My little runaway.

VERSE



Ebm         Bbm



Ebm

In a trap, feel a strap

Bbm

Holding still. Pinned for kill.

Ebm

Chances narrow that I'll make it,

Bbm

In the cushioned straight-jacket.

Ebm

Just like 22nd Street,

Bbm

They got me by my neck and feet.

Ebm

Pressures building, can't take more.

Ebm

My headaches charge, earaches roar.

BRIDGE

In this pain,

Get me out of this pain!

CHORUS



   Eb                Ab

If I could change to liquid,

        Eb                 Ab

I could fill the cracks up in the rocks.

  Eb             Ab

I know that I am solid

      Eb    Ab

And I am my own bad luck.

C#m                      Ab

Outside John disappears, my cage dissolves,

    C#m     A              F#

without any reason my body revolves.

ENDING



Ebm     Bbm

Keep on turning,

Keep on turning,

         Ebm    Bbm

Turning around,

         Ebm    Bbm

spinning around.



Ebm      Bbm - repeatedly.



End on Ebm.
