and the third being a switch to the next one. So it goes "GGC, CCG, GGC, CCG" etc.)
Verse:
I deGcided on that evening
That I was Cthrough with sitting still
I stood Amup and started moving
With a Cchildlike fascination
For those Gdoors that don't have locks
And the Cstairways that were blocked
So I dug Amthrough the obstruction
Put my Cfist around the railing
And each Gstep was far apart
And far aCway from steps before it
And the Amair was getting thinner
Until I Ccouldn't breathe at all
And if I Ghappened to look behind me
There were Cmiles and miles of stairs
Enough so I Amcouldn't see the doorway
But I Cknew that it was there
And on the Glast step I was dizzy
Because there were Cstairs in all directions
But I Amfound another door
And through the Cdoor there was the attic
Without old Gclothes
Without a ceiling
EveryCthing had opened wide
Into the Amjaws of something bigger
And Csuddenly I saw that I was
Chorus:
EmUpstairs and Goutside and Cfreezing on the Groof D
EmFinally it had Gfound me
The Canswer, the Emfeeling, and the Atruth: C
Outro:
That I'm Gsmall
That I'm Emsmall
That I'm Csmall G
I'm smAaller than the smallest fireAmball
G, Em, C, G, A, Am to end
