Bruce Cockburn Pacing The Cage written by Bruce Cockburn

E B A

Sunset is an angel weeping

E B A

Holding out a bloody sword

E B A

No matter how I squint I cannot

E B A

Make out what it's pointing toward

A B

Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long

C#m C#m/B C#m A Amaj7

Days drip slowly on the page

Amaj 7

You catch yourself

Pacing the cage

E B A

I've proven who I am so many times

E B A

The magnetic strips worn thin

E B A

And each time I was someone else

E B A

And everyone was taken in

A B

Powers chatter in high places

C#m C#m/B C#m A Amaj7

Stir up eddies in the dust of rage

Amaj 7

Set me to pacing the cage

E B A

I never knew what you all wanted

E B A

So I gave you everything

E B A

All that I could pillage

E B A

All the spells that I could sing

A B

It's as if the thing were written

C#m C#m/B C#m A Amaj7

In the constitution of the age

Amaj 7

Sooner or later you'll wind up

Pacing the cage

SOLO

E B A

Sometimes the best map will not guide you

E B A

You can't see what's round the bend

E B A

Sometimes the road leads through dark places

E B A

Sometimes the darkness is your friend

A B

Today these eyes scan bleached out land

C#m C#m/B C#m A Amaj7

For the coming of the outbound stage

Amaj 7

Pacing the cage

E

Pacing the cage
