Verse 1:
G#m                    F#
I see his eyes moving away from me
E                      C#m
Oh no, is this another albatross?
G#m                         F#
He knows he holds dominion over me
E                            C#m
But what I gain is worth the cost

Verse 2:
G#m                    F#
We share the cold embrace of cousins
E                      C#m
I wonder if I've seen him somewhere else before
G#m                    F#
And as I wonder at his ancestry
E                      C#m
I miss the meeting by the door

Chorus:
D                         E
And in the telling of the story
D                      E
I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
D                         E
I read his lips and I see glory
D                         F#7
But what I hear is "be afraid"
Verse 3:
G#m                    F#
So from the fog of every morning
E                      C#m
Until the heat of day is still
G#m                    F#
I watch the clock as it turns backwards
E                      C#m
I see the water run uphill

Chorus:
D                         E
And in the telling of the story
D                      E
I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
D                         E
I read his lips and I see glory
D                         F#7
But what I hear is "be afraid"

D                         E
And in the telling of the story
D                      E
I lose my way inside a prepositional phrase
D                         E
I read his lips and I see glory
D                         F#7
