A E
Under the pillow
D A
I bury my head and try to shut Chicago out
A E
As it turns out there's a whole other world of sounds
D A
Of perfect fifths low skids and Arctic howls
A F#m
All saying are you going through something?
A F#m
Are you going through something?
A E
Under the pillow a little room to breathe
D A
the early morning light's a pale cranberry
A E
I hear the Aaa-aah-aah not now-wow-wow
D A
Of a siren faraway and closing steadily
A F#m
Saying are you going through something?
A F#m
Are you going through something?
E D A
Cuz I-I-I-I I am too
A E
Under the pillow
D A
I can hear you whisperin' are you going through something?
A F#m
Well honey are you going through something?
A F#m
Are you going through something?

Then I-I-I-I I am too
Then I-I-I-I I am too

You left me lost in the barrens

You left me born on the stairs

A Asus4 A
Inside my kettle
F#m
I didn't come to get lost in the barrens
E
I didn't come to settle
E D
To be a man on the moon
To get my little slice of heaven
Yeah
E A D
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
When the door is just starting to open?
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
The door is just starting to open.
Athabasca depends.
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
Yeah
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
I'm holding the door to the barrens
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends?
