Saw the railway master and I looked him in the eye.  
 
        D                               A               G                                   D 
Said would you go much faster if you thought that you would die 
 
               A                  Bm                     F#m                C#m 
He said not me son, I could not care, in fact I would not try 
 
D                           A                      G                                   D 
Protest would not take me far, it's different me not being a star    
 
  B                                     D                  A 
I lock my feelings in a jar, until another day 
 
 
Comfort me dear brother, would you tell me what you know 
 
Somewhere in this paper world, is a place where I can go 
 
Oh, long awaited mother is it time to make your show 
 
and take your babies to your breast, knowing them will pass the test 
 
All our sin's should be confessed, before we carry gold 
 
E             Bm                     G                         D               A 
Oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me you'll follow my shame 
 
E                  Bm               G                  D                  A 
No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the name of the game 
 
 
 
Got up on my pillow and I looked up at the sun 
 
Said you could see quite cleary now, the things that we have done 
 
We burned your sacred willow and our battles we have won 
 
Did we get so very far, it's different me not being a star 
 
I lock my feelings in a jar, until they go away. 
 
 
Oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me you'll follow my shame 
 
No, don't confuse me, for I know it's the name of the game 
 
Oh, don't refuse me, if you choose me you'll follow my shame 
 
No, don't confuse me, for I know that's the name of the game 
 
Guitar solo over progression 
 
don't refuse me...or confuse me..oh, oh, oh 
 
don't refuse me...or confuse me..oh, oh, oh
