Verse 1:
A
  Wade in the rising water
D
  Walk in the sinking sand
D
  Crawl through the shadow valley
A
  To try to understand

Verse 2:

A
  I climbed a Jacob's ladder
D
  I fell down holy stairs
D
  I found Siddartha's temple
A
  No answer anywhere

Chorus:
    A           E       D
The minute you think you know you got it
        A               E          D
is the minute you know it's gone for good
     A         E        D
The second you pause his claws are on it
     A      E          D
The tiger inside will eat the child

        A       E      D
Oh Oh Oh
        A       E      D       D
Oh Oh Oh

Verse 3:
A                         D
  I saw a hall of mirrors,  I saw a burning wheel
D                         A
  I saw a rain of arrows,   I lost the way to feel
A                        D
  I saw a million faces,     Stare at a fallen sky
D                          A
  I saw the last horizon,   The end    of time

Chorus:
    A           E       D
The minute you think you know you got it
        A               E          D
is the minute you know it's gone for good
     A         E        D
The second you pause his claws are on it
     A      E          D
The tiger inside will eat the child
