[E] Standing firm on this...stony ground, the [Cmaj7]wind blows hard,
Pulls these clothes around, I..[A]. harbour all the same worries as most,
The temp - t[Fmaj7]ations to leave, or to give up the ghost,
[D] I wrestle with an o[Bm/F#]utlook on life [Bm/A]that sh[G]ifts between darkness,
G6(type2) Fmaj7
And shadowy light, I struggle with words, for fear that they'll hear,
But Or[Gm7]pheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the [Amaj7]world!

[E] Sunlight falls, my wings open wide, there's a [Cmaj7]beauty here, I cannot deny,
And bot[A]tles that tumble, and crash on the stairs,
Are just[Fmaj7] so many people I knew never cared, [D] down below, on the [Bm/F#]wreck of the ship,
Bm/A G G6(type2)
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret,
But the b[Fmaj7]aggage is swallowed up by the tide
As Or[Gm7]pheus keeps to his promise, and stays by my [Amaj7]side!

[Fmaj7] [Fmaj9] [Fmaj7] Tell me, [G6] [Gadd9] I've still a [G6]lot to learn,
[Fmaj7] I u[Fmaj9]nderstand,[Fmaj7] [G6] [Gadd9]these fires n[G6]ever stop,
[Fmaj7] Be - [Fmaj9]lieve-[Fmaj7]- me, [G6] when [Gadd9]this joke is t[G6]ired of laughing,
[Fmaj7] I will-[Fmaj9]---- hear.[Fmaj7]... the pr[G6]omise of my Or[Bb]pheus [Asus4]sing!

[E] Sleepers sleep, while we... row the boat,
Just[Cmaj7] you, the weather, and I gave up hope,
But a[A]ll of the hurdles that fell in our laps...
...was [Fmaj7]fuel for the fire, and straw for our backs,
[D] Still the voices have s[Bm/F#]tories to tell...
Bm/A G G6(type2)
Of the power struggles in heaven & hell,
But[Fmaj7] we feel secure against such might dreams,
As O[Gm7]rpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may... [Amaj7]bring!
