Pacing the Cage Bruce Cockburn
Capo 4th
[C]Sunset i[G/B]s an angel weepi[F2/A]ng
[C]Holding [G/B]out a bloody swo[F2/A]rd
[C]No matter [G/B]how I squint I [F2/A]cannot
[C]Make out [G/B]what it's pointi[F2/A]ng toward
[F]Sometimes you feel like you've [G]lived too long
D[C]ays dri[C/B]p slowly on the[Am] page[Am/G]
[F]You catch yourself
[G]Pacing the cage[C]
[C]I've proven [G/B]who I am so many ti[F2/A]mes
[C]The magne[G/B]tic strips worn [F2/A]thin
[C]And each time[G/B] I was someo[F2/A]ne else
[C]And everyo[G/B]ne was [F2/A]taken in
[F]Powers chatter in [G]high places
[C]Stir up [C/B]eddies in the dus[Am]t of ra[Am/G]ge
[F]Set[G] me to pacing[C] the cage
[C]I never [G/B]knew what you a[F2/A]ll wanted
[C]So I gav[G/B]e you everyth[F2/A]ing
[C]All that[G/B] I could p[F2/A]illage
[C]All the [G/B]spells that I could si[F2/A]ng
[F]It's as if the thing were w[G]ritten
[C]In the c[C/B]onstitution of th[Am]e age[Am/G]
[F]Sooner o[G]r later you'll wind up
Pacing the cage[C]
SOLO
[C]Sometimes the [G/B]best map will not g[F2/A]uide you
[C]You can't[G/B] see what's round the b[F2/A]end
[C]Sometimes the [G/B]road leads through[F2/A] dark places
[C]Sometimes th[G/B]e darkness is your f[F2/A]riend
[F]Today these eyes scan ble[G]ached out land
[C]For the coming o[C/B]f the outbound s[Am]tage[Am/G]
P[F]acin[G]g the cage [C]
