Em
It’s the weight I’m trying
A Em
To get inside the frame
A Em A Em/G A
I’ve been painting a fat man
Em A Em
He’s big and fat and heavy
A * B7 F#m7b5 B7 B7
As a man can be
C C/G Gadd9/B G/B Bm7b5
But he’s been floating away
E7 E7 Am
Floating away
D/F# Gadd9 G B7
He’s been floating away from me
Em A Em
In the mirror my withering skin
A Em A Em/G A Em
Is a thorny pleasure
A
I stand unflinching
Em A * B7 F#m7b5 B7 B7
And I mark each crease and sting
C C Gadd9/B
My brush my wooden flail
G/B Bm7b5 Bm7b5 Esus4 E7 Am7
My ancient thresher
F#m7b5
As unforgiving time
Am/E B7 B7b9/F# B7 B7
Flays everything

Em
It’s the truth I’m trying
A Em
To get inside the frame
A Em A Em/G A
Now I’m painting myself naked
Em A
But I need a pair of boots
Em A * B7 F#m7b5 B7 B7
About as heavy as boots can be
C C Gadd9/B G/B Bm7b5
Or I’d be floating away
E7 E7 Am
Floating away
D/F# Gadd9 G G
I’d be floating away from me
C
D G/B C Am D/F#
And every thorn sends thistledown
G7 G7
Drifting all around
C Gadd9/B G/B Bm7b5
And floating away
Esus4 E7 Am
Floating away
D/A G B7
Floating away from me
| Em A | Em A | Em A | Em/G A | Fade Out
