[Verse]
       Bm
Let me speak
          D                       Em Em7
Let me spit out my bitterness
A                          Bm
Born of grief and nights without sleep
D
And festering flesh
Dmaj7          Bm
Do you have eyes?
              D                          Em Em7
Can you see like mankind sees?
A                     Bm              D
Why have you soured and curdled me?

[Chorus]
G A                      Bm
Oh-oh, you tireless watcher
D                          Em        Em7
What have I done to you?
G                     A                   Bm             A                D
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear
          D6 D
Come true

[Verse]
Dmaj7         Bm
Once I was blessed
          D                      Em Em7
I was awaited like the rain
A                        Bm
Like eyes for the blind
   D                       D
Like feet for the lame
Dmaj7              Bm
Kings heard my words
               D                              Em Em7
And they sought out my company
        G             A                 Bm
But now the janitors of Shadowland
D
Flick their brooms at me

[Chorus]

[Interlude]
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7

[Bridge]
Em                         Em7
I've lost all taste for life
     G
I'm all complaints
      A          Bm
Tell me why do you starve the faithful?
                 D              A
Why do you crucify the saints?
Bm
And you let the wicked prosper
       D            Em                 Em7
You let their children frisk like deer
A                               Bm
And my loves are dead or dying
D
Or they don't come near
Dmaj7       D                Dmaj7 D6
(We don't despise your chastening
               A
God is correcting you)

[Verse]
                   Bm
Oh, and look who comes
    D                            Em   Em7
To counsel my deep distress
     A                           Bm
Oh, these pompous physicians
D
What carelessness!
Dmaj7             D         Dmaj7   D6
(Oh all this ranting, all this wind
D                A
Filling our ears with trash)
                    Bm
Breathtaking ignorance
        D                 Em Em7
Adding insult to injury
             A                        Bm
They come blaming and shaming (evil doer)
         D
And shattering me
Dmaj7              D            Dmaj7   D6
(This vain man wishes to seem wise
            D         Dsus4
A man born of asses)

[Chorus]

[Verse]

Was it the sins of my youth?
D                             Em   Em7
What have I done to you?

That you make everything I dread and everything I fear

Come true?

A                    Bm            A                D
Everything I dread and everything I fear come true
