verse 1 

      Asus2                A7                 D 
I was lost and tossed on a misty morning by a drunken sailor  
        Dm7                        E7sus4 E E7sus4 E7 
and the genie in the bottle let me down 
      Asus2                 A7                         D 
I was raised on Cain in the name of the Father and the Mother  
                        Dm7                      E7sus4 E E7sus4 E7 
and the brother and the other who was never even round 
     Asus2                    A7 
On a windswept coast with the Black Knight falling 
      D                           Dm7                              E7sus4 E E7sus4 E7 
I was heard to be calling that my ship and all its crew were going down 
       Asus2               A7                  D 
As the sun ran slowly by a childhood rivulet a jeweled King summoned me 
   Dm7                             E7sus4 E E7sus4 E7 
commanding that I run and tell the town 

Bridge 
A   D    G   C   F           D 
Saw you, saw me, run quickly now 
F       G     Asus2 
Run and hide away 
F       G      A 
Run and hide today 

verse 2 
     Asus2                    A7                    D 
In a room in a castle full of faceless lovers I was cut and bleeding  
        Dm7                           E7sus4 E E7sus4 E 
and the image in the mirror struck me down 
      Asus2                  A7                          D 
I was chased and beaten by a well-drilled team of little men breathing colors  
     Dm7                         E7sus4 E E7sus4 E7 
and abandoned in a coffin in the ground 
     Asus2                    A7                       D 
As a pale young virgin made a meal of a martyr she was hailed as holy 
       Dm7                                E7sus4 E E7sus4 E 
by the only ones who stood and held their ground 
       Asus2                     A7                     D 
When a bright Mona Lisa with the eyes of a tiger read a new proclamation  
      Dm7                              E7sus4 E E7sus4 E7 
I was stricken from her list and never found 

Bridge 
A   D    G   C   F           D 
Saw you, saw me, run quickly now 
F       G     Asus2 
Run and hide away 
F       G      A 
Run and hide today

For they may not ever be explained 
      A7

Seems they come and go so quickly 
C#m            F#m 
Disappear like sunlight in the evening 
Bm       E7                A 
And they may not ever be explained 
      A7 
And I woke up thinkin' I had the answer
