 Intro: D MajorD

      D MajorD          G+G
 There was grown man dying from fright
    B minorBm            E MajorE
 so surprised at the things he'd say
     D MajorD      G+G
 With a giant fantasy life
     B minorBm        E MajorE
 running 'round on feet of clay

  D MajorD   G+G       D MajorD   G+G
 Naked except for a perpetual debt
     B minorBm     A augmentedA   G+G
 that couldn't be stripped away
     D MajorD    G+G     D MajorD     G+G
 An unrightable wrong that moved him along
  D MajorD      A augmentedA   D MajorD   A augmentedA
 closer to division day

 Spent a long time living with that
 Never could give it a name
 And when you don't know what you're looking at
 it makes it much harder to take
 Mostly they'd meet when he was
 asleep and have some sick exchange
 that stuck him as wrong and moved him along
 closer to division day

 Solo (chorus pattern)

 I can't make an exception for a bad
 connection that only goes one way
 sell out for a song where I don't belong
 with you on division day

 The moon stood up on the ridge
 looking down where the water shines
 and a man looking over the bridge
 like he done so many times
 Thinking about how to stay out
 Out of troubles way and
 Flying to fall away from you all
 It's over division day
 Beautiful division day

 Solo #2

 Thinking about how to stay out
 Out of troubles way
 Flying to fall away from you all
           B minorBm
 It's over,division day
 G+G     A augmentedA   D MajorD
 Beautiful division day
