The song IS in the key of B, but the capo should be on the FOURTH fret rather than the second. It makes it sound a lot better! The chords of the instrumental bits tend to be rapidly arpeggiated (perhaps they're finger-picked, but I do better flat-picking quickly...), and the chords of the verses are strummed, with some light appregiation prior to each vocal phrase. [The vertical bars represent phrases, not actual measures].

"Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

To keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Tho' my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" he said "Grab your things I've come to take you home."

[Verse]
When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No on taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."
