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
