C G  Dm           Am    C          G           Am   
I can see wind upon the rise, here under glass i can see
C   G    Dm         Am    C          G          Am       
Outside, in formaldehyde, waiting to set myself free

Am            C                 F              Am    
Up around the river bend, i was separated from you
Am            C           F                 Am  
You became a citizen of a world held like a zoo
Am                   C                 F                   Am  
One step through the airlock where the chemicals can't get through
Am            C                 F               Am      
Up around the river bend, i was separated from you

         C G   Dm             Am    C            G            Am 
Like the ocean drips from the sky, i sit here just waiting to be
      C G Dm           Am     C       G          Am               
I can see specimens in jars, waiting, waiting to be

Am            C                  F                Am  
Up around the river bend, the specialists changed you
Am            C            F                 Am       
You became a prisoner of a world kept like a zoo

C   G    Dm    Am    C           G           Am         
Outside, real life - waiting for you and for me
C   G   Dm      Am       C           G          Am 
Outside all our lives - awaiting the chance to be
