Intro: | Em A | Em A | Em A | Em/G A | (x3) 


          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#m7/5-  B7  B7 
As a man can be 

                C            C/G  Gadd9/B  G/B  Bm7/5- 
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   Fm7/5-  B7 B7 
And I mark each crease and sting 

     C    C               Gadd9/B 
My brush my wooden flail 
 G/B          Bm7/5-  Bm7/5-  Esus4  E7  Am7 
My ancient thresher 
                     F#m7/5- 
As unforgiving time 
  Am/E       B7   B7(9-)/F#  B7  B7 
Flays everything 


| Em A | Em A | Em A | Em/G A | 
| Em A | Em A * | B7 F#m7/5- | B7 | 

| C | Gadd9/B G/B | Bm7/5- | E7 | 
| Am | D/F# | Gadd9 G | B7 | 


           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#m7/5-  B7  B7 
About as heavy as boots can be 

            C            C  Gadd9/B  G/B  Bm7/5- 
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  Bm7/5- 
And floating away 
               Esus4  E7  Am 
Floating away 
  D/A                  G  B7 
Floating away from me
