[A]
Saw the [Bm] railway master [F#m] and I looked him [C#m] in the eye
[D] Said, would you go much [A] faster if you [G] thought [D] that you would die?
He [A] said, not me sir, [Bm] I could [F#m] not care, my actor would [C#m] not try
[D] For protests would [A] not take me far, [G] it's different me [D] not be the star
[B] I locked my feelings in a [D] jar, till [A] another day
Oh comfort [B] me dear brother, [F#m] won't you tell me [C#m] what you know
[A]
[C#m] [D] For somewhere in this [A] faithful world [G] is a place where I can [D] go
[A] Oh long awaited [Bm] mother, is [F#m] it time to make a [C#m] show?
And [D] take your [A] babies to your breast, [G] know we [D] never passed the test
[B] All our sins should [D] be confessed, for we [A] carry on
[E] Oh [Bm] don't refuse me, [G] if you choose me [Bm] you'll [D] fall out [A] of my shade
[E] No, [Bm] don't confuse me, [G] for I know [Bm] it's the [D] name [A] of the game
Got up off [Bm] my pillow [F#m] and I looked up [C#m] at the sun
Said [D] you can see [A] quite clearly [G] now the things that [D] we have done
[A] We've learned your [Bm] sacred will, [F#m] and our battles [C#m] we have won
[D] Did we [A] get so very [G] far, it's different [D] me not be the star
I [F#m] locked my feelings in a [D] jar, until we [A] go away
[E] Oh [Bm] don't refuse me, [G] if you choose [D] me you'll fall [A] out of my shade
[E] No, [Bm] don't confuse me, [G] for I know [Bm] it's the [D] name of the [A] game
[E] Oh [Bm] don't refuse me, [G] if you choose [Bm] me [D] you'll fall [A] out of my shade
[E] No, [Bm] don't confuse me, [G] for I know [Bm] it's the [D] name [A] of the game
