[Verse]
Bm
Let me speak
D Em Em7
Let me spit out my bitterness
A Bm
Born of grief and nights without sleep
D
And festering flesh
Dmaj7 Bm
Do you have eyes?
D Em Em7
Can you see like mankind sees?
A Bm D
Why have you soured and curdled me?
[Chorus]
G A Bm
Oh-oh, you tireless watcher
D Em Em7
What have I done to you?
G A Bm A D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
D6 D
Come true
[Verse]
Dmaj7 Bm
Once I was blessed
D Em Em7
I was awaited like the rain
A Bm
Like eyes for the blind
D D
Like feet for the lame
Dmaj7 Bm
Kings heard my words
D Em Em7
And they sought out my company
G A Bm
But now the janitors of Shadowland
D
Flick their brooms at me
[Chorus]
G A Bm
Oh-oh, you tireless watcher
D Em Em7
What have I done to you?
G A Bm A D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
D6 D Dmaj7 D6 D
Come true (Man is the sire of sorrow)
[Interlude]
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
[Bridge]
Em Em7
I've lost all taste for life
G
I'm all complaints
A Bm
Tell me why do you starve the faithful?
D A
Why do you crucify the saints?
Bm
And you let the wicked prosper
D Em Em7
You let their children frisk like deer
A Bm
And my loves are dead or dying
D
Or they don't come near
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D6
(We don't despise your chastening
A
God is correcting you)
[Verse]
Bm
Oh, and look who comes
D Em Em7
To counsel my deep distress
A Bm
Oh, these pompous physicians
D
What carelessness!
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D6
(Oh all this ranting, all this wind
D A
Filling our ears with trash)
Bm
Breathtaking ignorance
D Em Em7
Adding insult to injury
A Bm
They come blaming and shaming (evil doer)
D
And shattering me
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D6
(This vain man wishes to seem wise
D Dsus4
A man born of asses)
[Chorus]
G A Bm
Oh-oh, you tireless watcher
D Em Em7
What have I done to you?
G Bm A D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
D6 D Dmaj7 D6 D
Come true (We don't despise your chastening)
[Verse]
Em D/F# G
Already on a bed of sighs and screams
A Bm
And still you torture me with visions
D A
You give me terrifying dreams!
Bm Em Em7
Better I was carried from the womb straight to the grave
A Bm D
I see the diggers waiting, they're leaning on their spades
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D6 D
(Man is the sire of sorrow
Dmaj7 D6 D
Sure as the sparks ascend)
Bm
Where is hope?
D Em Em7
While you're wondering what went wrong?
A Bm D
Why give me light and then this dark without a dawn?
D Dmaj7 D
(Evil is sweet in your mouth
D6 Dmaj7
Hiding under your tongue)
Bm
Show your face!
D
(What a long fall from grace)
Em Em7
Help me understand!
A Bm D
What is the reason for your heavy hand?
Dmaj7 D
(You're stumbling in shadows
Dmaj7 D
You have no name now)
[Outro]
G A Bm
Was it the sins of my youth?
D Em Em7
What have I done to you?
G Bm A D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
Come true?
D Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D
(Oh your guilt must weigh so greatly)
A Bm A D
Everything I dread and everything I fear come true
D Dmaj7 D6
(Man is the sire of sorrow)
G Bm A D
Oh, you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true.
