Verse 2 (same as the first) 
Once I had a calling 
This town praised my hands 
Now I'm sculpting apologies 
Cause folks they don't understand 

CHORUS 2 (same as the first chorus except the last chord does not resolve to a G, 
rather it pulls to Em to start the bridge, so the last line should be as follows:)

I could change myself 

A                              C     
There's so much else I could do 

A                   Cm     
Except I always knew 

       G5            G/F#      
I was deeper than dailyness 

       Em              D/A    
I was made to be manifest 

    C                Cm     Em7     C    >G 
The art like an amethyst of truth

I know, it's only too clear 
Spiders spin their webs year after year 
I never had that kind of resolve 
To know my fear, to face it at all

  With promises remote

 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade

Observe the world below
