Look at him now, another [F#m] [G] used [C] man
[G] [Bm] Wearing the [C] passion [G] of his dignity [Am] with all the courage that [G] he came
[C] He stood in [Em] the stone
[Bm] [F#m] Carved [G] out in [C] stone
He [Bm] said I wore [C] my honesty [G] with light [Am] and everything I've [A] done
[G] So where were you when [C] my ship went down?

[Em] Wiggle with you when [C] you burn [G] me down [C] Look [G] at [Em] her now
[F#] Oh, tired [G] and worn She [Bm] never thought her life would come [A] to be so cold
She said I flew [D] below
[C] She walked [Em] in the light
[F#m] Fox pond beach [G] below [Am] She [Bm] said I cast [C] off the chains [G] that I was born with
[Am] But it never was [D] enough

[G] Wiggle with you when [C] my ship went [G] down [Em] Wiggle with you when [C] I'm dragging [G] around
Wiggle with you when [C] I turn [G] it around [Em] Wiggle with you when [C] you burn [G] me down
[C] Silent souls [Em] washed up on the shore [G] Left to walk the sands [C]
evermore, [D] evermore
