Intro: | E minorEm A augmentedA | E minorEm A augmentedA | E minorEm A augmentedA | Em/GEm/G A augmentedA | (x3)


     E minorEm
It?s the weight I?m trying
  A augmentedA        E minorEm
To get inside the frame
      A augmentedA      E minorEm  A augmentedA Em/GEm/G A augmentedA
I?ve been painting a fat man
   E minorEm       A augmentedA   E minorEm
He?s big and fat and heavy
   A augmentedA  *   B7B7 F#m7/5- B7B7 B7B7
As a man can be

        C majorC      C/GC/G Gadd9/B G/BG/B Bm7/5-
But he?s been floating away
        E7E7 E7E7 A minorAm
Floating away
      D/F#D/F#         Gadd9Gadd9 G+G B7B7
He?s been floating away from me

    E minorEm    A augmentedA       E minorEm
In the mirror my withering skin
    A augmentedA   E minorEm   A augmentedA Em/GEm/G A augmentedA E minorEm
Is a thorny pleasure
      A augmentedA
I stand unflinching
    E minorEm     A augmentedA  *   B7B7  Fm7/5- B7B7 B7
And I mark each crease and sting

   C majorC  C majorC        Gadd9/B
My brush my wooden flail
 G/BG/B     Bm7/5- Bm7/5- Esus4Esus4 E7E7 Am7Am7
My ancient thresher
           F#m7/5-
As unforgiving time
 Am/E    B7B7  B7(9-)/F# B7B7 B7B7
Flays everything


| E minorEm A augmentedA | E minorEm A augmentedA | E minorEm A augmentedA | Em/GEm/G A augmentedA |
| E minorEm A augmentedA | E minorEm A augmentedA * | B7B7 F#m7/5- | B7B7 |

| C majorC | Gadd9/B G/BG/B | Bm7/5- | E7E7 |
| A minorAm | D/F#D/F# | Gadd9Gadd9 G+G | B7B7 |

      E minorEm
It?s the truth I?m trying
  A augmentedA        E minorEm
To get inside the frame
     A augmentedA       E minorEm   A augmentedA Em/GEm/G A augmentedA
Now I?m painting myself naked
    E minorEm       A augmentedA
But I need a pair of boots
     E minorEm    A augmentedA   *   B7B7 F#m7/5- B7B7 B7B7
About as heavy as boots can be

      C majorC      C majorC Gadd9/B G/BG/B Bm7/5-
Or I?d be floating away
        E7E7 E7E7 A minorAm
Floating away
     D/F#D/F#         Gadd9Gadd9 G+G G+G
I?d be floating away from me


C majorC
      D MajorD      G/BG/B    C majorC A minorAm D/F#D/F#
And every thorn sends thistledown
     G7G7     G7G7
Drifting all around
   C majorC      Gadd9/B G/BG/B Bm7/5-
And floating away
        Esus4Esus4 E7E7 A minorAm
Floating away
 D/AD/A         G+G B7B7
Floating away from me


| E minorEm A augmentedA | E minorEm A augmentedA | E minorEm A augmentedA | Em/GEm/G A augmentedA | Fade Out
