Intro: F# A E 




Verse: 

F#        A         E   F# 
   It slipped my mind 
       A       E     F# 
And for a time 
      A        E    D 
I felt completely free 


F#            A       E  F# 
   Oh what a troubled 
         A    E    F# 
Silent, poor boy 
  A        E    D 
A pawn into a queen 


[Refrão]


        F# 
I laugh now 
    G       D     E  B 
But later's not so easy 
             F# 
I've gotta stop 
    G          D 
The will is strong 
         E        B 
But the flesh is weak 
                F# 
Guess that's it 
      G       D 
I've made my bed 
         E         B 
And I'm lying in it 



Verse: 

F#            A        E   F# 
   I'm still hanging on 
       A      E     F# 
Bird upon the wires 
    A        E     D 
I fall between the waves 

F#       A        E   F#  
   I avoid your gaze 
        A        E 
Pattern out of phase 
  A        E    D 
A pawn into a queen 


Chorus

Outro 

B*                     E  D  G  B 
    But it's eating me up 
               E  D  G  B 
It's eating me up 
               E             D             G            B 
It's eating me up (If I could feel all the snakes on my heads) 
               E             D            G            B 
It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snails on my heads) 
               E             D            G             B 
It's eating me up (If I could feel all my snares and my nets)
