[Verse]
       Bm
Let me speak
       D                 Em   Em7
Let me spit out my bitterness
A                  Bm
  Born of grief and nights without sleep
D
  And festering flesh
Dmaj7         Bm
  Do you have eyes?
        D                Em   Em7
Can you see like mankind sees?
A              Bm         D
  Why have you soured and curdled me?


[Chorus]
G  A                Bm
Oh-oh, you tireless watcher
D                   Em    Em7
What have I done to you?
G             A            Bm        A            D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
     D6   D
Come true


[Verse]
Dmaj7        Bm
  Once I was blessed
       D               Em   Em7
I was awaited like the rain
A                   Bm
  Like eyes for the blind
     D                 D
Like feet for the lame
Dmaj7            Bm
  Kings heard my words
         D                  Em   Em7
And they sought out my company
    G       A           Bm
But now the janitors of Shadowland
D
  Flick their brooms at me


[Chorus]
G  A                Bm
Oh-oh, you tireless watcher
D                   Em    Em7
What have I done to you?
G             A            Bm        A            D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
     D6                 D       Dmaj7   D6   D
Come true   (Man is the sire of sorrow)


[Interlude]
D  Dmaj7  D  Dmaj7


[Bridge]
Em                          Em7
I've lost all taste for life
    G
I'm all complaints
     A  Bm
Tell me why do you starve the faithful?
           D           A
Why do you crucify the saints?
Bm
And you let the wicked prosper
    D         Em                    Em7
You let their children frisk like deer
A                        Bm
And my loves are dead or dying
D
Or they don't come near
Dmaj7         D        Dmaj7  D6
(We don't despise your chastening
          A
God is correcting you)


[Verse]
               Bm
Oh, and look who comes
   D                  Em    Em7
To counsel my deep distress
     A               Bm
Oh, these pompous physicians
D
What carelessness!
Dmaj7         D       Dmaj7    D6
(Oh all this ranting, all this wind
D           A
Filling our ears with trash)
             Bm
Breathtaking ignorance
       D             Em   Em7
Adding insult to injury
         A            Bm
They come blaming and shaming (evil doer)
    D
And shattering me
Dmaj7         D       Dmaj7    D6
(This vain man wishes to seem wise
      D       Dsus4
A man born of asses)


[Chorus]
G  A                Bm
Oh-oh, you tireless watcher
D                   Em    Em7
What have I done to you?
              G            Bm        A            D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
     D6         D        Dmaj7     D6   D
Come true   (We don't despise your chastening)


[Verse]
Em                  D/F#      G
Already on a bed of sighs and screams
          A   Bm
And still you torture me with visions
            D          A
You give me terrifying dreams!
Bm                              Em                   Em7
  Better I was carried from the womb straight to the grave
A                   Bm               D
  I see the diggers waiting, they're leaning on their spades
 Dmaj7      D       Dmaj7   D6   D
(Man is the sire of sorrow
            Dmaj7    D6   D
Sure as the sparks ascend)
         Bm
Where is hope?
             D                   Em     Em7
While you're wondering what went wrong?
A            Bm                 D
Why give me light and then this dark without a dawn?
D        Dmaj7         D
(Evil is sweet in your mouth
D6                Dmaj7
Hiding under your tongue)
          Bm
Show your face!
                       D
(What a long fall from grace)
             Em     Em7
Help me understand!
A           Bm              D
What is the reason for your heavy hand?
Dmaj7                D
(You're stumbling in shadows
Dmaj7        D
You have no name now)


[Outro]
           G       A        Bm
Was it the sins of my youth?
D                   Em    Em7
What have I done to you?
              G            Bm        A            D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear

Come true?
D        Dmaj7      D6      Dmaj7   D
(Oh your guilt must weigh so greatly)
A            Bm        A            D
Everything I dread and everything I fear come true
D                Dmaj7   D6
(Man is the sire of sorrow)
             G            Bm        A            D
Oh, you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true.
