^AmThe mario^Cnette has your ^Gnumber It pullin your ^Amarms and legs till you ^Ccan't stand on your ^Gown Dragging your ^Amconscience on the ^Cstage and you ^Gheart gets rearranged And you ^Amcannot tell your ^Cmentor from your ^Gmaker ^AmLook at the ^Ccrowds bleeding with ^Glaughter Over the ^Amway you enter^Ctain at beckon ^Gcall They don't ^Amsee behind the ^Clights ^Gor the painted background ^AmThey just like ^Cto see you ^Gfall

CHORUS:

^C ^Am But you ^Cdon't really ^Gmind ^C ^Am Cause you're ^Cjust wasting ^Gtime ^C ^Am You can't ^Cfeel any^Gthing Just a ^Cboy ^Amon ^Ca ^Gstring

VERSE 2:

^AmI feel a ^Csadness like ^GGapetto Watching the ^Amlife that he ^Ccreated run a^Gway, Seeing the ^Ampuppeteer's in^Ctrusion and ^Gholding the remains Of ^Ampuppets that had ^Crotted a^Gway ^AmOne day the ^Ccurtain will not ^Gopen And all of the ^Amcrowds will ^Cgo a^Gway ^AmSomeday those ^Cstrings will ^Gchoke you ^AmBut un^Ctil that ^Gday
