D D* E7
funny you swear you got nowhere special to go
A A7sus4
but I know you will, before too long
D
cos you're always there, standing there
D* E7
staring at the hole in the robe
A7
like it was a place somebody would go

D D* E7
you spoke softer than anybody i ever heard
A A7sus4
softer than the velvet in your hair,
D D* E7
tying back black while you laugh at me, black as a bird
A7
i live in a cage, and i could take you there
D5 A9 A9* A9** A9*** A9* A9** A9 Bm F# Bm G6
con - fu - sion is king, the talk of your town
D /G E
streets, i'm living with the pain
/D /C# E /C# /D Bm F# Bm G6
this is what you see always looking down
D D* E7
hanging out, better off? can't tell how to behave
A A7sus4
with her on the stage i hear your song
D D* E7
with the animals painted in the dark on the walls of the cave
A7
pictures of the ones i guess you won't forget
D5 A9 A9* A9** A9*** A9* A9** A9 Bm F# Bm G6
con - fu - sion is king, the talk of my town
D /G E /D /C# E
I don't know if you hear the meaning of the word
/C# /D Bm F# Bm G6
maybe just yourself?
D D*
little things trigger big problems
E7
you can wipe out a stain and
A A7sus4
maybe i destroy what makes you sad
D
if you're rid of so many minds
D* E7
buried that you never relay
A7
until your body's numb and it's all too bad
D5 A9 A9* A9** A9*** A9* A9** A9 Bm F# Bm G6
con - fu - sion is king, the talk of the town
D /G E
i don't know how to speak it
/D /C# E
i don't know how to help you
/C# /D Bm F# Bm G6
i'll just be around
D /G E
i don't know how to speak
/D /C# E
i don't know how to help
/C# /D Bm F# Bm
i'll just be around
