Music Intro: 

Gmaj9     Dmaj9     Bm     (A) 
verse 1: 
Gmaj9 
I fell down thirty feet of stairs 
      Dmaj9      Bm              (A) 
Landed in a hole buried under cloak 
Gmaj9 
And as I grow I tried to let this go 
      Dmaj9       Bm 
But I cannot hide under half-shut eyes 

Break: A

G       Bm         A 
And I feel it calling me again 
   G    Bm         A 
In the winter ice I stand 
G       Bm         A 
And I feel it calling me again 
(A)       G         
So what will it take 
Bm                      A 
To make this finally the end? 

Music Break: 

Gmaj9     Dmaj9     Bm     (A) 
verse 2 (same as verse 1 chord wise): 
Gmaj9 
Carving snow, I found myself a glove 
     Dmaj9               Bm              (A) 
So I took it home and my body, mind and soul 
Gmaj9 
draped in robes like soft and flowing tones 
         Dmaj9           Bm               
Through a combo and it's quarter cranked again 
A  
  And this time I follow my own lines 

*PreChorus Riff* 

Chorus 2 (same as Chorus 1): 

G       Bm         A

G       Bm         A 
And I feel it calling me again

So what will it take 
Bm                      A 
To make this finally the end?

Outro lines: 

G                                   G 
It's the breaking point, the crossed out, the fine lines we hide, the lies 
A                            A 
Medicine, and crooked ties define why I'm not who you thought you liked

REPEAT 

Gmaj9 
It's the breaking point, the crossed out, the fine lines they hide, the lies 
Bm                               A 
Medicine, and crooked ties define why I am not who you thought you liked 
Gmaj9 
It's the breaking point, the crossed out, the fine lines they hide, the lies 
Bm                                A 
Medicine, and crooked ties define why I am not who you thought you liked
