[Verse]
F# B F#
Oh, I was sent to find the lonesome place
B C#
Where I was lost but left to trace
D#m B C#
By carving riddles on the lonesome vine
F# B F#
Oh, but rumor has it that I wasn't born
B C#
I just walked in one frosty morn
D#m B C#
Into the vision of some vacant mind
[Chorus]
B C# F# B
Oh, once I held a pony by its flagging mane
B C# F# B
And once I called the shadow in the turning game
D#m C# B C#
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
D#m C# B F#
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
[Interlude]

[Verse]
F# B F#
Aww, Xavier's on the border of the sun
B C#
Swings on the chambers of your guns
D#m B C#
And tries to shoot the chord and light the path
F# B F#
Aww, but hell I'm just a blind man on the plains
B C#
I drink my water when it rains
D#m B C#
And live by chance among the lightning strikes
[Chorus]
B C# F# B
Oh, once I held a glacier to an open flame
B C# F# B
And once I felt like wildcat in the fallen game
D#m C# B C#
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
D#m C# B F#
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
[Interlude]

[Outro]
B C# F# B
Oh, the singer's on the edge to feed the canyon's mouth
B C# F# D#m
They will go on forever til they sing you out of time
D#m C# B C#
But I will fight this stranger that you should fear
D#m C# B F#
So I won't be a burden of tomorrow dear
