please note that it’s unknown at this time whether it really is coulton , but for now , we’ll leave it at that . chorus : G G C G i don’t know a cave from a hole in the ground Em G C D i wandered an age through a cool and dark cage G G C Em tried finding my way by touch , taste , sense , sound G G D G but no way out of hell , as the sin is on stage 1st time but i’m here and i hope i won’t see old age 2nd but i figure the solitude’s my only wage 3rd and long past the point of pretending to rage last G G G verse 1 : Em Em Em G i wonder what happened up there to my truck C C D D left parked with a load , no doubt long since been towed Em Em Em G i never expected to have such strange luck Em Em Am Em i should have obeyed what that road sign forebode Em Em Em Em Em Em G cavefish is delicious , but only if cooked C C D D you’ll mess it up bad , well let’s leave it at that Em Em Em G i’ve eaten whenever , whatever i’ve hooked C C D G i’d kill for the thrill of a meal with some fat G G G chorus verse 2 : i don’t know my soul from a hole in the dark i’d wake from my sleep and i’d silently weep i once knew a girl who loved me as a lark my pain , she explains , is what made me so deep i thought i was ever so lonesome at home it needled at me until i couldn’t see the forest for trees nor the sea for the foam and i took up the job that was all absentee chorus verse 3 : the miles and also the hours were strained kept my hands on the wheel , it was solid and real and wind blew and snow fell and storms rumbled and rained and i drove through it all but found i could still feel inspire me world , i was writing a song saw a sign for the cave , thought "artistic" and "brave" i grabbed my guitar and i moseyed along and though i hate to state it , i entered my grave chorus
