[Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _
[Fm] _ _ Stone [Db] cold, [Fm] in the middle [Db] of a circus, [Eb] for the [Bb] lights are all [Fm] on you.
[Db] Try to fake a [Eb] smile, [Db] but the curtain draws [Eb] on [Ab] you.
[Gm]
[Db] When the crowd [Eb] begins to cheer, it's a sign [Ab] that the end is [Fm] drawing near.
[Cm] You're presenting [Db] the world, [C] _ _ when [Ab] the lights go _ _ [Db] out.
_ [Fm] _ [Eb] _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _
[Fm] _ The tears fade, [Db] _ right before their very eyes, [Eb] but yours [Fm] begin to shed.
_ [Db] Fake it for [Fm] a [Eb] while, [Db] causing _ [Eb] darkness to [Ab] spread.
[Eb]
[Db] All behind each [Eb] casting art, is the image [Ab] of a man who's [Fm] torn apart.
_ _ [Cm]
[Db] Escaping the world, [C] _ _ when the lights [Fm] go out.
Fear [Ab] not, I [Db] have descended, _ [Eb] before you even [Cm] knew.
_ I [Db] only told the mind of [Fm] you.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ Smile, you [Ab] see, now I [Db] comprehend it, [Eb] but I died too long [Cm] ago.
Though [Db] every time I start the [Fm] show, [C] I drop the act and away [Fm] I _ go.

_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _
[Fm] _ Stone [Db] froze, [Fm] for a friend [Db] with a message, [Eb] but the [Bb] message failed to [Fm] send.
Too many times I [Cm] bail, [Db] cause the show's about [Eb] to [Ab] end.
[Cm]
[Db] Like an intermittent [Eb] _ break, like a [Ab] purgatory sending me [Fm] to shake.
I [Eb] walk [Db] off the _ [C] stage, _ and the [Ab] lights go _ out.
[Db] _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _
[Fm] You would've never [Db] believed me [Fm] while [Db] smiling.
You would've stopped to [Eb] intrigue while [F] I'm [Fm] frowning.
You would've helped [Db] just to [Fm] shake it [Eb] off, [Db] but let me try.
[Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [G]
[Db] You're not supposed [Eb] to know, or what it kills to [Ab] just remind yourself [Fm] I'm gone.
[Cm] Broken [Db] _ again, [C] _ _ as the lights [Fm] go out.
Fear [Ab] not, I [Db] have descended, _ _ [Eb] before you even [Cm] knew.
_ I [Db] only told the mind of [Fm] you.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ Smile, you [Ab] see, now I [Db] comprehend it, [Eb] but I died too long [Cm] ago.
Though [Db] every time I start the [Fm] show, _ [C] I drop the act [Cm] and away [Ab] I go.
By [Eb] the time you hear me [Fm] cry, _ [Bb] I'll have lost you through thousands [Ab] of voices.
_ [Eb] All blinding the [Fm] sounds, _ [Bb] no remorse for me [Ab] is found.
And I am [Eb] not meant to be chained to [Fm] the ground.
I [Bb] have no soul, have no gut, have [Ab] no promises, yet [Eb] the mask is in [Fm] the way. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Though [Db] every time [Fm] I take my [Db] _ leave, oh [Eb] darkness [Fm] please don't just leave me be.
_ _ [Db] [Ab] Holding [Eb] on [Db] for life, I [C] can't let you know I'm [Fm] _ _ here.
[Ab] Fear not, I [Db] have descended, _ _ [Eb] before you even [Cm] knew.
I [Db] only told the mind of [Fm] you.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ Smile, you see, now I [Db] comprehend it, but [Eb] I died too long [Cm] ago.
_ Though [Db] every time I start the [Fm] show, [C] I drop the [Cm] act and [Fm] away I go.
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Fm] _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Fm] _ By the time this [Db] little number [Cm] ends, [Db] I'm gone.
_ [Em] And you [Dbm]
can't cure [G] my [Fm] mind. _ _
