intro :
A C G D A E Em D
A C G D A E Em D

verse 1 :
A C
it’s hidden far away ,
G D
but someday i may tell .
A E
the tale of metal tangle ,
Em D
when into your world i fell .
A C
without you now i wander ,
G D
soaking secretly afraid .
A E
’cause in your grasp the fears don’t last ,
Em D
and some of them have stayed .

chorus :
A D E
i wheeled around because i didn’t ,
D A
hear what you had said .
A D E
and saw you dancing with elihu ,
D A
up on leemor’s bed .
A D E
and i was foggy rather groggy ,
D A
you helped me to my car .
A D E
the binding belt enclosing me ,
D A
a sample in a jar .

instrumental break 1
A C G D A E Em D

verse 2 :
A C
and on the market stands unfolding ,
G D
with all their willies and their wares .
A E
i shuffle by alert but numb ,
Em D
to all the glances and the glares .
A C
and i think of you unheeding ,
G D
all the times i raise my cup ,
A E
it’s now i know that you knew ,
Em D
that i’d soon end up , end up .

( repeat chorus )

bridge :
A C
you tricked me like the others ,
D A
and now i don’t belong ,
C D
the simple smiles and good times ,
D E
seem all wrong .

( repeat chorus )

coda :
A D E
D A
a sample in a jar .
