Stairs To The Attic

Guitar Chords Intro: G C G C(0:27)
G                                    C
I decided on that evening that I was through with sitting still
        G                            C
I stood up and started moving with a childlike fascination
          G
For those doors that don't have locks
         C
And the stairways that were blocked
         G
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
        G
And the air was getting thinner
        C
Til I couldn't breathe at all
         G
And if I happened to look behind me
           C
There were miles and miles of stairs
            G
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
'Cause there were stairs in all directions
      G
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
         G
Into the jaws of something bigger
     C
And suddenly I saw that I was
G            C          G                C
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof
G              C
Finally it had found me
    G           C                G
The answer, the feeling, and the truth:
G
That I'm small
That I'm small
That I'm small
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball.
