Verse 1:
E baritone chordE
I was raised up believing
A baritone chordA
I was somehow unique
B baritone chordB
Like a snowflake unique among snowflakes
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
Unique in each way you can see

Verse 2:
E baritone chordE
And now after some thinking
A baritone chordA
I'd say I'd rather be
B baritone chordB
A baritone chordA functioning cog in some great machinery
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
Serving something beyond me

Chorus:
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
I'll get back to you someday, soon you will see.

Verse 3:
E baritone chordE
What's my name, what's my station?
A baritone chordA
Oh, just tell me what I should do
B baritone chordB
I don't need to be kind to the armies of the night
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
That would do such injustice to you

Verse 4:
E baritone chordE
Or bow down and be grateful
A baritone chordA
And say, "Sure, take all that you see."
B baritone chordB
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
And determine my future for me

Chorus
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
I'll get back to you someday, soon you will see

Verse 6:
E baritone chordE
If I know only one thing
A baritone chordA
It's that everything that I see
B baritone chordB
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
Often I barely can speak
E baritone chordE
Yeah, I'm tongue-tied and dizzy
A baritone chordA
And I can't keep it to myself
B baritone chordB
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
Why should I wait for anyone else?

Chorus:
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
I'll come back to you someday, soon myself

Instrumental: E baritone chordE

Choral Section:
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
If I had an orchard
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9)
I'd work till I'm raw
A6 baritone chordA6 E baritone chordE
And if I had an orchard
A baritone chordA Asus4 baritone chordAsus4 A baritone chordA
I'd work till I'm sore

E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
And you would wait tables
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA Asus4 baritone chordAsus4 A baritone chordA
And soon run the store

E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
Gold hair in the sunlight
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA (Aadd9 baritone chordAadd9)
My light in the dawn
A6 baritone chordA6 E baritone chordE
If I had an orchard
A baritone chordA Asus4 baritone chordAsus4 A baritone chordA
I'd work till I'm sore
(repeat)

E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
Someday I'll be
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
Like the man on the screen
