VERSE ONE

At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people,

running around to all the doors.

They try to find, find themselves an audience;

Dbm/E

their deductions need applause.



Dbm/E                  Ab/Eb

The rich man stands in front of me,

Abdim/D                Db

The poor man behind my back.

Dbm                    F#m/A

They believe they can control the game,

Ab              Dbsus4         Db

but the juggler holds another pack.

He'll smile through his guard,

Survi- val   trains hard.

When you're out in    the field.

But down   here,

       Dbm           Abm/Eb

I'm so alone with my fear,

          Dbm          Abm/Eb

With everything that I hear.

    Dbm   B/Eb   Dbm/E

And every single door



That I've walked through



Abm       B/F#       Dbm     Abm/Eb

Brings me back, back here again,

            F#/Db       Ab/Eb

I've got to find my own way.



--------

The priest and the magician,

Even academics, searching printed word.

My father to the left of me,

Abdim/D                Db

My mother to the right,

Dbm                    F#m/A

Like everyone else they're pointing

Ab                      Dbsus4    Db

But nowhere feels quite right.

There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound.

If I     choose a    side,

         Db   Db/F# Db    Ab

He won't take me    for a ride.

CHORUS



Dbm  Abm/Eb

Back inside

                Dbm     Abm/Eb

This chamber of so many doors;

              Dbm        Abm/Eb

I've nowhere, nowhere to hide.

    Dbm      B/Eb      Dbm/E

I'd give you all of my dreams



If you'd help me,



        Abm

Find a door

     B/F#            Dbm  Abm/Eb

That doesn't lead me back again

F#/Db      Ab/Eb

- take me away.



END.
