[Strophe]EI was raised up believingAI was somehow uniqueBLike a snowflake distinct among snowflakesA EUnique in each way you can see[Strophe]EAnd now after some thinkingAI'd say I'd rather beBA functioning cog in some great machineryA EServing something beyond me[Refrain]E ABut I don't, I don't know what that will beE A EI'll get back to you someday soon you will see[Strophe]EWhat's my name, what's my stationAOh just tell me what I should doBI don't need to be kind to the armies of nightA EThat would do such injustice to you[Strophe]EOr bow down and be gratefulAAnd say "Sure take all that you see"BTo the men who move only in dimly-lit hallsA EAnd determine my future for me[Refrain]E AAnd I don't, I don't know who to believeE A EI'll get back to you someday soon you will see[Strophe]EIf I know only one thingAIt's that every thing that I seeBOf the world outside is so inconceivableA EOften I barely can speakYeah I'm tongue tied and dizzyAAnd I can't keep it to myselfBWhat good is it to sing helplessness blues?A EWhy should I wait for anyone else?[Refrain]E AAnd I know, I know you will keep me on the shelfE A EI'll come back to you someday soon myself[Instrumentale]E[Strophe]E AIf I had an orchardE A (Aadd9)I'd work till I'm rawA6 EIf i had an orchardA Asus4 AI'd work till I'm soreE AAnd you would wait tablesE A Asus4 AAnd soon run the storeE AGold hair in the sunlightE A (Aadd9)My light in the dawnA6 EIf I had an orchardA Asus4 AI'd work till I'm soreE AIf I had an orchardE A Asus4 AI'd work till I'm soreHarmony Verse - follow same chord pattern as before...E ASomeday I'll beE ALike the man on the screen[Outro]A - Asus4 - A - E
