Verse:
G
I decided on that evening
C
That I was through with sitting still
Am
I stood up and started moving
C
With a childlike fascination
G
For those doors that don't have locks
C
And the stairways that were blocked
Am
So I dug through the obstruction
C
Put my fist around the railing
G
And each step was far apart
C
And far away from steps before it
Am
And the air was getting thinner
C
Until I couldn't breathe at all
G
And if I happened to look behind me
C
There were miles and miles of stairs
Am
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway
C
But I knew that it was there
G
And on the last step I was dizzy
C
Because there were stairs in all directions
Am
But I found another door
C
And through the door there was the attic
G
Without old clothes
Without a ceiling
C
Everything had opened wide
Am
Into the jaws of something bigger
C
And suddenly I saw that I was
Chorus:
Em G C G D
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof
Em G
Finally it had found me
C Em A C
The answer, the feeling, and the truth:
Outro:
G
That I'm small
Em
That I'm small
C G
That I'm small
A Am
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball
G, Em, C, G, A, Am to end
