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(b5) B7
As a man can be
C C/G G9/B G/B Bm7(b5)
But he?s been floating away
E7 Am
Floating away
D/F# G9 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(b5) B7
And I mark each crease and sting
C G9/B
My brush my wooden flail
G/B Bm7(b5) E4 E7 Am7
My ancient thresher
F#m7(b5)
As unforgiving time
Am/E B7
Flays everything
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(b5) B7
About as heavy as boots can be
C G9/B G/B Bm7(b5)
Or I?d be floating away
E7 Am
Floating away
D/F# G9 G
I?d be floating away from me
D G/B C Am D/F#
And every thorn sends thistledown
G7
Drifting all around
C G9/B G/B Bm7(b5)
And floating away
E4 E7 Am
Floating away
D/A G B7
Floating away from me
