[Verse 1]
[Am]The [C]rain[G] a[Am]uditions at[G]
my win[D]dow[F]
[Am]Its symphony [G]echoes
in my wom[D]b[F]
[Am]My gaze scans [G]the walls of
[D]this apartment[F]
[Am]To rectify the con[G]fines of [D]my
[F]tomb
[Am][F][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G][Am][G]
[Am]I'm the cycl[F]ops in
the tenement
[G]I'm the soul without the cause
Cry[F]ing midst my rubber plant[C]s,
ignor[G]ing beckoning doors
[F]Clippings from ancient newspapers
lie [G]scattered cross the floor
Stained [Am]by the wine fr[F]om
a shattered glass
[G]Meaningless words
Yellowed by time
[F]Faded photos exposing pain
[G]Celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
Christ, you've [F]finished playing
hangman
[G]You've cast the fateful dice
[F]Advice, advice, advice me,
this [G]shroud will not [Am]suffice[G][D]
[F]And thus begins the web
[Am][G]

[Verse 3]
[D][F]
At[Am]tempting to dis[G]card
these clinging [D]memories[F]
I [Am]only serve [G]to wallow in our pas[D]t
[F]I f[Am]abricate t[G]he weave with my exc[D]uses[F]
Its [Am]strands [G]I hope and pray
[D]shall [F]last[Am]
[G]Oh [D]ple[F]ase do last[Am][G][D][F][Am]
[G][D]
[F]Oh please do last

[Verse 4]
[Am]The [G]fly[D][F][Am]
[G]tra[F]p
needs the insects
[G]Ivy [Em]caresses [G]the[F] wall
Needles make love to the junkies
[G]The sirens seduce with their call
[F]Confidence has deserted me,
[G]with you it has forsaken me
Con[F]fused and rejected, despised and alone,
I [G]kiss isola[Em]tion on it's [G]fevered brow
Se[F]curity clutching me
Obscur[G]ity threatening me
Christ, your [F]reasons were so obvious
as my [G]friends have qualified
[F]I only laughed away your tears,
but [G]even [Em]jesters [G]cry[Am][G][D][F]
But even [Am]jesters [G]cry[D][F]

[Verse 5]
[Am]I realize I [G]hold the key to fr[D]eedom[F]
Oh I can[Am]not let [G]my life be ruled by [D]threads
[F]The[Am] time has[G] come to make
[D]decision[F]s
[Am]The changes [G]have to [D]be made[F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]I realize I ho[D]ld the key to free[F]dom
[Am]I cannot let my life be
ruled [D]by [F]threads
[Am]The time has come [D]to make [F]decisions
The [Am]changes have to be made

[Interlude 2]
[D][F][Am]
[Bm]Now I leave you

[Verse 7]
[Bm]
The past does have it's say
You're [C]all but forgot[F]ten
A [G]mote [D]in my hea[Am]rt
[D]Decis[E]ions hav[G]e b[E]een m[G]ade[E]

[Interlude 3]
They've been made

[Verse 8]
De[D]cisions have been
[E]made[D]
I've conquered my fears,
[E]all my [D]fea[C]rs
The flaming shroud,
[B][E][B][E]
the flaming [D]shroud[C]
Thus ends the [B]web, the web,
the web, the [E]web, [B]the web
