     Bm
I am out here studying stones
           A
Trying to learn to be less alive
       G
Using all of my will
       A
To keep very still
       Bm           Ch3
Still even on the inside

          Bm
I've cut all of the pertinent wires
      A
So my eyes can't make that connection
     G
I am holding my breath
     A
I am feigning my death
     Bm                  Ch3
When I'm looking in your direction


        D
'Course numb is an old hat
          C 
Old as my oldest memories
    G
See that one's my mother
    A
And that one's my father
         Bm                    Ch3
And that one in the hat, that's me


       D
It's a skill I'd hoped to abandon
       A
When I got out on the open road
             C 
But any more pent up emotion
       A              Ch3
And I think I'm gonna explode


              Bm                  Ch3
There's never been an endeavor so strange
              A
As trying to slow the blood in my veins
   G
To keep my face blank
     A
As a stone that just sank
      Bm             Ch3
Until not a ripple remains


     Bm                  Ch3
I am high above the tree line
        A
Sitting cross legged on the ground
     G
When all of the forbidden fruit
    A
has fallen and rotted
Bm                    Ch3
That's when I'm gonna come down


        D
'Course numb is an old hat
          C 
Old as my oldest memories
    G
See that one's my mother
    A
And that one's my father
         Bm                    Ch3
And that one in the hat, that's me


       D
It's a skill I'd hoped to abandon
       A
When I got out on the open road
             C 
But any more pent up emotion
       A              Ch3
And I think I'm gonna explode
