Man Of A Thousand Faces

• Bb

Intro: Bb Dm (2x)

    Bb                Dm
A man of a thousand faces
Bb               Dm
Sits down at the table
Gm                   Bb
Eats a small lump of sugar
    Gm                         Bb
And smiles at the moon like he knows her
Dm                       Bb
   And begins his quiet ascension
Dm                             Bb
   Without anyone's sturdy instruction
F                    Bb-F
 To a place of no religion
Gm
  Has found a path to our alikeness

Bb                        Dm
  His words are quiet like stains are
Bb                             Dm
  On a table cloth washed in a river
F                         Bb-F            Bb-F
Stains that are trying to cover, for each other
Gm
  Or at least blend in with the pattern

Bb                    Dm
  Good is better than perfect
Bb                          Dm
  Scrub til your fingers are bleeding
Gm                   Bb         
  And I'm crying for things that 
Gm                            Bb
  I tell others to do without crying

Dm                              Bb
  He used to go to his favorite bookstores
Dm                         Bb
  And rip out his favorite pages
Gm                              Bb
  And stuff them into his breast pocket
Gm                          Bb
  And the moon to him was a stranger
Dm                        Bb
  Now he sits down at the table
Dm                  Bb
  Right next to the window
Gm                     Bb
  And begins his quiet ascension
Gm                        Bb
  Without anyone's sturdy instruction
Gm                 Bb
  To a place of no religion
Gm                         Bb
  Has found a path to our alikeness
Gm                        Bb
  And eats a small lump of sugar
Gm                               C
  And smiles at the moon like he knows her
