Intro:
C, G
(Note: these are played in quick sets of three, with the first two being one chord
and the third being a switch to the next one. So it goes "GGC, CCG, GGC, CCG" etc.)
Verse:
G
I decided on that evening
C
That I was through with sitting still
Am
I stood up and started moving
C
With a childlike fascination
G
For those doors that don't have locks
C
And the stairways that were blocked
Am
So I dug through the obstruction
C
Put my fist around the railing
G
And each step was far apart
C
And far away from steps before it
Am
And the air was getting thinner
C
Until I couldn't breathe at all
G
And if I happened to look behind me
C
There were miles and miles of stairs
Am
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway
C
But I knew that it was there
G
And on the last step I was dizzy
C
Because there were stairs in all directions
Am
But I found another door
C
And through the door there was the attic
G
Without old clothes
Without a ceiling
C
Everything had opened wide
Am
Into the jaws of something bigger
C
And suddenly I saw that I was
Chorus:
Em G C G D
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof
Em G
Finally it had found me
C Em A C
The answer, the feeling, and the truth:
Outro:
G
That I'm small
Em
That I'm small
C G
That I'm small
A Am
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball
G, Em, C, G, A, Am to end

version 2
Standard Tuning, No Capo
This is by far the easiest song I've ever tabbed. There are only two chords in the whole
and the most difficult part is the tabbed opening. The opening is like that because the
is a "part 2" of "In the Snow"
