Verse 1
in the heat of the day
G
There's a fire in the chill of night
C
And a turnabout in circumstance
G
makes each a hell in its own right
C
I've been boxed in, in the lowlands,
in the canyons that think
G
Been pushed to the brink of the precipice
and dared not to blink
C
I've been confounded in the whirlwind
of what- ifs and dreams
G
I've been burned by the turning of
the wind back upon my own flames
Verse 2
G
C
Knock the scales from my eyes
Knock the words from my lungs
It's on the tip of my tongue
Verse 3
G
C
G
Oh,
the walls of this
kingdom of dust,
G
felt the crucial revelation
C
But the broad streets of the heart and
G
the day- today meet at a blind intersection
C
I don't want to be lonely,
I don't want to feel pain
G
I don't want to draw straws
with the sons of Cain
C
You can take it as a prayer if
you'll remember my name
G
You can take it as the penance
Verse 4
C
Knock the scales from my eyes
Knock the words from my lungs
It's on the tip of my tongue
C
Knock the scales from my eyes
Knock the words from my lungs

Verse 5
C
There's an oasis in the
heat of the day
G
There's fire in the chill of night
C
When I know them both I'll know your
G
love, I will feel it in the twilight
C
Oh, as circumstance comes crashing
G
C
through my walls like a
G
train, or like a chorus from
the mountains of the ocean floor
C
Like the wind burst of bird
wings taking flight in a
G
hard rain, or like a mad dog on the
far side of Dante's door
Verse 6
C
Knock the scales from my eyes
Knock the words from my lungs
It's on the tip of my tongue
C
Knock the scales from my eyes
Knock the words from my lungs
It's on the tip of my tongue
C
Knock the scales from my eyes
Knock the words from my lungs
It's on the tip of my tongue
C
Knock the scales from my eyes
Knock the words from my lungs
