[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G
The man who twirled with rose in teeth
C G
Has his tongue tied up in thorns

His once expanded sense of time and
C D
Space all shot and torn
C G
See him wander hat in hand
C
"Look at me, I'm so forlorn
Em G D
Ask anyone who can recall
C G
It's horrible to be born!"

[Verse 2]
G
Big Circumstance comes looming
C G
Like a darkly roaring train

Rushes like a sucking wound
C D
Across a winter plain
C G
Recognizing neither polished shine
C
Nor spot nor stain
Em G D
And wherever you are on the compass rose
C G
You'll never be again

[Chorus]
C G Am
Left like a shadow on the step
Em G C D
Where the body was before
D G
Shipwrecked at the stable door
C G Am
Left like a shadow on the step
Em G C D
Where the body was before
D G
Shipwrecked at the stable door

[Verse 3]
G
Big Circumstance has brought me here
C G
Wish it would send me home

Never was clear where home is
