The night sets [N] softly with the hush of falling _ _ leaves _ _ _
Casting shivering shadows on the houses through the _ trees
_ _ On the light from a streetlight [A] paints a pattern on my _ _ wall
[N] _ Like the pieces of a puzzle or a _ child's uneven [Dm] [A] scroll
_ Up [G] _ [F] a narrow flight of stairs in [A] a narrow [F] little _ room
_ [D] _ _ As I lie upon [A] my bed in the early [Cm] evening _ _ gloom
_ _ [F] Impaled on my wall, my eyes can dimly see
_ _ [B] _
_ The pattern of [Ab] my life and the puzzle [B] that is me
_ [A] _ _ [G] _
[Dm] From the moment of my birth to the instant of my death
_ _ _ There are patterns I must follow just as I must [Eb] breathe each breath
[C] _ _ _ [N] Like a rat in a maze, the path [F] before me lies _ _
[Cm] And the pattern never alters [Bb] until [Cm]
the rat [Dm] dies
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _ _ _

_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [B]
Patterns still remain on the wall where darkness _ [Am] fell
_ [Dm] _ And it's fitting that it should, for in [C] darkness I must _ dwell _ _
[Dm] Like the color of my skin [F] or the day that I grow _ _ [Dm] _ old
My life is [Cm] made of patterns [Bbm] that can [C] scarcely be [D] controlled
