[verse]
                         A
I started working at the second hand,
                                D
I thought it would make me more colorful.
                     E
I saw the world as a stitch and patch.
                 A
I saw the sky as torn grey wool.
                       A
I started working as a dime store clerk,

I thought it would make me
    D
the kind to put you first.
                       E
My only dreams were in fluorescent light,
                    A
My only goal was to forget what I was worth.

[chorus]
                     A
I want to see how it takes me.
                      D
I want to see how the powder burns.
                          E
Don't want to keep what I can't have more of.
                               A
Don't want to wait and miss my turn.

[verse]
                       A
I started working as a tour guide,
                           D
I thought it would make me believe my own words.
                           E
Every patient thought just passed me by,
                           A
Every truth I said sounded just absurd.
                       A
I started working at a small town church,
                             D
I thought it would make me a better man.
                               E
They said the sins I had would fly away,

As if the birds were in
    A
the palms of my own hands.

[chorus]
                     A
I want to see how it takes me.
                      D
I want to see how the powder burns.
                          E
Don't want to keep what I can't have more of.
                               A
Don't want to wait and miss my turn.
