Pacing the Cage Bruce Cockburn
Bruce Cockburn Pacing The Cage written by Bruce Cockburn
[E]Sunset [B]is an angel [A]weeping
[E]Holding [B]out a bloody [A]sword
[E]No matter [B]how I squint I [A]cannot
[E]Make out [B]what it's pointing [A]toward
[A]Sometimes you feel like you've [B]lived too long
[C#m]Days drip [C#m/B]slowly on the [C#m]page[A] [Amaj7]
[A]Yo[7]u catch yourself
Pacing the cage
[E]I've proven [B]who I am so many [A]times
[E]The magnetic [B]strips worn [A]thin
[E]And each time [B]I was someone e[A]lse
[E]And everyo[B]ne was taken [A]in
[A]Powers chatter in high p[B]laces
[C#m]Stir up eddies in the [C#m/B]dust of [C#m]rage[A] [Amaj7]
[A]Se[7]t me to pacing the cage
[E]I never [B]knew what you all [A]wanted
[E]So I [B]gave you everyt[A]hing
[E]All that [B]I could [A]pillage
[E]All the [B]spells that I could [A]sing
[A]It's as if the thing were w[B]ritten
[C#m]In the cons[C#m/B]titution of the [C#m]age[A] [Amaj7]
[A]So[7]oner or later you'll wind up
Pacing the cage
SOLO
[E]Sometimes the [B]best map will not guide [A]you
[E]You can't [B]see what's round the [A]bend
[E]Sometimes the [B]road leads through dark [A]places
[E]Sometimes the [B]darkness is your [A]friend
[A]Today these eyes scan [B]bleached out land
[C#m]For the coming [C#m/B]of the outbound [C#m]stage[A] [Amaj7]
[A]Pa[7]cing the cage
Pacing the cage[E]
