Version 1 
            [Intro]
D   Bb G 
D   Bb C
D   F  A


[Verse 1]
D            Bb     G
  A cold and wet November dawn 
D            Bb      C
  And there are no barking sparrows 
D          F               A
  Just emptiness to dwell upon. 
 
D         Bb     G
  I fell into a winter slide 
D           Bb       C                         D
  And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow 
      F                    A
Just eking out my measly pies. 


[Chorus 1]
    G          D       A           D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I 
G             D       F      A
  Know there is this side of me that 
G           D        A             D
  Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G           D         F        A
  Fly the whole mess into the sea. 


[Verse 2]
D           Bb         G
   Another slow train to the coast 
D                  Bb            C      D
   Some brand new gory art from way on high 
   F                         A
I sink and then I swim all night. 

D               Bb               G
   I watch the ice melt on the glass 
D              Bb             C
   While the eloquent young pilgrims pass 
D       F  
   And leave behind their trail 
    C                A
Imploring us not to fail.


[Chorus 2]
    G        D       A        D
Of course I raised to gather courage from those 
G       D       F         A
Lofty tales so tried and true and 
G            D   A        D
   If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this 
G           D                  F       A
   Modern thought can get the best of you.


[Bridge]
Bm              D
   This rather simple epitaph 
      G         A        G      A/Asus4
Can save your hide your falling mind 
Bm              D
   Fate isn't what we're up against 
        G      A       G       A/Asus4
There's no design no flaws to find
        G      A       G       A/Asus4
There's no design no flaws to find
