     Am    G    Dx4
[Verse 1]
AmLife Inside a GSnail DShell
AmBelieving you're a GProphet liDving in Hell
AmA cynical GWicker DMan
AmAlways got a Gbetter Dplan
[Pre Chorus 1}
FBut try and Gfind him if you DcanD  
[Chorus 1]
FWhen the walls that saved you Clocked you insGide aDlone
With the Fricochet of the Cwords you throw like GSticks and Dstones
Drifting Fthrough your days in a Cblinding cloud of Grage at the Dsun
Turning Fall your windows Cinto MicrosGcopes
It's only a choice
[Break]
     Am    G    Dx4
[Verse 2]
AmLife inside his Gfrightened Dmind
AmFilled with all the Gnegatives Dhe can find
AmTo save him from Gsaying Dyes
AmAnd risk disproving Ghe's the Dbest
[Pre Chorus 2]
FBut no actions will Gever speak louder than Dhis wordsD  
[Chorus 2]
FWhen the walls that saved you Clocked you insGide aDlone
With the Fricochet of the Cwords you throw like GSticks and Dstones
Drifting Fthrough your days in a Cblinding cloud of Grage at the Dsun
Turning Fall your windows Cinto MicroGscopes
It's only a choice
[Bridge]

F  C  G  D
[Pre Chorus 3]
And he's Fscared of the world 'cos he Gthinks the worlds like Dhim
[Chorus 3]
When the Fwalls that saved you Clocked you insGide aDlone
With the Fricochet of the Cwords you throw like GSticks and Dstones
Drifting Fthrough your days in a Cblinding cloud of Grage at the Dsun
Turning Fall your windows Cinto MicroGscopes
It's only a choice
