[Verse]
    F#            B                 F#
Oh, I was sent to find the lonesome place
            B                C#
Where I was lost but left to trace
          D#m              B       C#
By carving riddles on the lonesome vine
        F#                B        F#
Oh, but rumor has it that I wasn't born
              B             C#
I just walked in one frosty morn
         D#m           B       C#
Into the vision of some vacant mind

[Chorus]
    B             C#          F#       B
Oh, once I held a pony by its flagging mane
    B                 C#            F#      B
And once I called the shadow in the turning game
    D#m    C#         B                        C#
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
   D#m     C#   B                  F#
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear

Aww, Xavier's on the border of the sun
              B                C#
Swings on the chambers of your guns
             D#m                 B         C#
And tries to shoot the chord and light the path
         F#              B                F#
Aww, but hell I'm just a blind man on the plains
           B             C#
I drink my water when it rains
            D#m              B         C#
And live by chance among the lightning strikes

[Chorus]
    B             C#            F#   B
Oh, once I held a glacier to an open flame
    B                C#             F#     B
And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game
    D#m    C#         B                        C#
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
   D#m     C#   B                  F#
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear

Oh, the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth
     B          C#               F#              D#m
They will go on forever til they sing you out of time
    D#m    C#         B                        C#
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
   D#m     C#   B                  F#
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
