_ _ _ _ _ I was raised up believing _ I was somehow _ unique, like a [Eb] _ snowflake, distinct among snowflakes,
unique in each way you can see.
And now after some thinking, I'd [Ab] say I'd [Cm] rather be [Eb] a functioning cog in some great machinery
[Ab] serving something [Eb] beyond me.
But I don't know what _ _ _ _ _ that [Ab] will be.
I'll [Eb] get [Ab] back to [Eb] you [Ab] someday.
Soon _ you [Eb] will see.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ What's my name?
What's my station?
Oh, [Ab] just tell me what I should do.
I [Eb] don't need to be kind to the armies of night that [Ab] would do such injustice [Eb] to you.
Or bow down _ and be grateful and [Ab] say, sure, take all that you see.
To [Eb] the men who move on me in dimly lit halls [Ab] determine my future [Eb] for me.
And I don't _ _ _ _ _ know who to _ [Ab] believe.
I'll [Eb] get [Ab] back to [Eb] you someday.
[Ab] _
Soon _ you [Eb] will see.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ If I know only one thing, it's [Ab] that everything that I see
_ [Eb] of the world outside is so inconceivable, [Ab]
often I barely [Eb] can speak.
Yeah, I'm _ tired and dizzy, and [Ab] I can't keep it to myself.
[Eb] What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
[Ab] Why should I wait for [Eb] anyone else?
And I _ know you _ _ will keep me [Ab] on the shelf.
[Eb] I'll come [Ab] back to [Eb] you someday.
[Ab] _
Soon you will see.

If I had an armchair, _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] I'd walk till [Fm] I'm numb. _ _
_ _ _ _ If _ _
[Ab] _ I [F] had an armchair, I'd walk till [Ab] I'm _ sore. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] You would wait tables and soon run [Ab] sore.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Go there in the [Fm] _ _
sunlight, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] my light [Fm] in the _ dark. _
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] If _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ I had [F] an orchard, I'd work till [Ab] I'm sore. _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ If I had an [Eb] orchard, I'd work till [Ab]
I'm sore. _ _ _ _ _ _
