INTRO : G
( guitar 1 )
GWell I woCke in miDd-aftGernoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
GI dream I neverC know anyoneD at the paGrty and I'm always the host
If drBmeams are likeC movies, tGhen memories are films about ghosts
YoDu can nCever esGcape, you can only move south down the coast
G C D G (fill 1)
well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
G C D G (fill 2)
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
Bm C G (fill 3)
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame
and Dthough I'll never forget your face,
C G (fill 4)
sometimes i can't remember my name
BmHey MCrs. PGottDer don't cry
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
BmHey MCrs. PGotter DwonC't yC/Bou talk toG me
(fill 5)
GWell, there's Ca pDiece oGf Maria in every song that I sing
GAnd the pCrice Dof Ga memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And Bmthere isC always one lGast light to turn out and one last bell to
ring
AnDd the lasCt oneG out of the circus has to lock up everything
G C D G (fill 6)
Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
G C D G (fill 2)
And the ghosts of the childer world will linger inside your head
AnBmd the ferrCis wheeGl junkies will spin there forever instead
D C G (fill 1 )
When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in my bed
BmHey MCrs. PGotter dDon't go
Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but
BmHey CMrs.G PottDer woCn'tC/B you talk tGo me
(fill 7 )
GAll the blue lCight DreflectGions that color my mind when I sleep
GAnd the lovesCick rDejectGions that accompany the company I keep
Bm C G (fill 8)
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
D C G (fill 9 )
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep
G C D G (fill 10)
So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
G C D G (fill 11)
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
WeBmll, I know I Cdon't kGnow you and you're probably not what you seem
BuDt I'd sure like to find out
So wChy don't you Gclimb down off that movie screen
BmHey CMrs. PGotter doDn't turn
Hey Mrs. Potter I burn for you
BmHey CMrs. GPotteDr woCn't yC/Bou taGlk to me
GWhen the Clast Dking of HGollywood shatters his glass on the floor
anGd oD/F#rders another
WeEmll, I DwonBmder what he did that for
ThatBm's when I Cknow thaGt I have to get out cause I have been there
before
D C G (fill 12)
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door
G C D G (fill 13)
We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
G C D G (fill 14)
We stand up in the palace like it's the last of the great pioneer town
bars
WeBm shout out tChese sonGgs against the clang of electric guitars
You can Dsee a milClion mileGs tonight But you can't get very far
D C G (fill 14)
Oh, you can see a million miles tonight But you can't get very far
BmHey MCrs.G Potter DI won't touch
Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but
BmHey MCrs. GPottDer wCon'tC/B you talk tGo me
