[Bm] [C#m] [D] [E]
[D] [F#m] [Bm] [F#m]
[Bm] [C#m] [D] [E]
[Bm] [F#m] [Bm] [F#m]
[B] Like stars [A] up in [D] a darkened [E]
sky, [D] I stand [C#m] obscured [B] from view.
With [A] shining eyes that [D] did [E] not lie, [D] I'd turn [C#m] the page for [B] you.
The silent [A] shadow [D] in the [E] night, [D] I smile [F#m] before [B] I'm still.
Behind [A] locked doors in [D]
[E] empty myths, [D] I am the [C#m] thing [B] you feel.
Like [A] your [D] [E] only friend, [B]
you've [A] massed up [D] like a million.
[E] [F#m] [Bm] My child, [D] my man, I [E] didn't think [D]
you'd have [C#m] no time [B] for prayers.
For no [A] thoughts, no words [D] could comfort [E] you, [D] no [C#m] smell of soft [B] caress.
I [A] am the wrath, the [D] wish, [Em] and well, [D] the [C#m] secrets to your [B] fear.
The [A] lighted candle [D] burning [E]
bright, [G] the [C#m] call from distant [B] near.
Now [A] [D] [E]
[C] [Bm] you [A] must own [D] the committee.
[E]
[B] Now [A] you're only [B] [E]
quail.
[B]
You [A] must love [D] the committee.
[E]
And [B] I said now I [A] am your [D] only [E]
[A] quail.
[E] [B] Yeah, you are my [A] child, [D] the committee.
[G#m]
[E] [Bm]
Bring the little people out, come around.
Everybody look this way, it's [E] time we got a good time.
[D] [E] [C#m] [Bm]
I got a new trick, better than my old trick.
Baby, come with me and we'll find a [E] new kick.
[D] [E] [Bm]
I keep a joke and it ain't funny.
I think I might [E] trade it in for [D] some money.
[E] [Bm]
Tried so hard all these years, tried so hard to deliver my [E] tears.
I just gotta sit down.
[C] I [Bm] will do the dirty work.
[E]
[D] [E] [D] [Bm]
Because [E] I'm a committee [D] and I'll [E] do what I [A] can.
I [Bm] think that in my face somebody [E]
is funny.
Forever joking.
[Bm]
They give me lots of wonderful things.
[E]
They give me a house, [Am] [Bm]
place to entertain [E] my friends.
[B] [E] And [D] I try [Bm]
to come [D#] around.
[E] Because I [D] am a [E] committee [Bm] and they tell me that they love me too.
[E] They like the [D] things [E] that I could [D] be.
