Verse:
    G                
I decided on that evening
           C
That I was through with sitting still
        Am
I stood up and started moving
       C
With a childlike fascination
          G
For those doors that don't have locks
        C
And the stairways that were blocked
         Am
So I dug through the obstruction
       C
Put my fist around the railing
         G
And each step was far apart
         C
And far away from steps before it
        Am
And the air was getting thinner
        C
Until I couldn't breathe at all
         G
And if I happened to look behind me
           C
There were miles and miles of stairs
            Am
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway
      C
But I knew that it was there
           G
And on the last step I was dizzy
                   C
Because there were stairs in all directions
      Am
But I found another door
                C
And through the door there was the attic
            G
Without old clothes

Without a ceiling
     C
Everything had opened wide
         Am
Into the jaws of something bigger
    C
And suddenly I saw that I was

Chorus:
Em           G           C               G     D
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof
Em             G
Finally it had found me
    C           Em               A      C
The answer, the feeling, and the truth:


Outro:
         G
That I'm small
         Em
That I'm small
         C      G
That I'm small
      A                           Am
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball 

G, Em, C, G, A, Am to end
