Verse 1:
C
I'm closer to the golden dawn,
I can't believe the wagon's gone,
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
It's history
C
I'm living in a callous realm,
Where others seem to dig it
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
Just too much reality
B
I'm frightened by the total goal,
C
I'm drawing to the ragged hole,
G Em Cmaj7
And I ain't got the wagon anymore,
C Am G Gsus4
Gsus4
No I ain't got the wagon anymore

Verse 2:
C
I'm the twisted name on Uma's eyes,
I'm living proof of Cindy's lies,
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
Of destiny
C
I'm drawing between the light and dark,
Where others see their targets,
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
I can't see anything
B
Should I leave the engine on,
C
To listen to that mountain song,
G Em Cmaj7
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought,
C Am G
And I ain't got the wagon anymore
Chorus:
G D Em
Don't believe in yourself
A D
Don't deceive with belief
Em C
The knowledge comes with death's release
D G Em A
Ahh oh....
Verse 3:
C
Not too stable hanging by a string
Can't face the thoughts no wheels will bring
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
I gotta go
C
It's bad enough being at home
Without a way to leave the damage
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
Is gonna show
B
If I don't explain what you oughta know
C
You can tell me all about it at the next ball show
G Em Cmaj7
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
C Am G
And I ain't got the power anymore...
Chorus: (x3)
G D Em
Don't believe in yourself
A D
Don't deceive with belief
Em C
The knowledge comes with death's release
D G Em A
Ahh oh....
