[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] I changed my name in search of faith [C] to find the Midas [G]
touch
[Bm] Oh, I wish I'd never [G] wanted then what [C] I want now
Twice [G] as much when we crossed the mighty oceans
And [C] we had a few [G] divides, [Bm] but we never [G] crossed the motion
Though [C] we felt [G] too much inside
You [D]
know all [C] the tales we tell, [Bm] you know the band [G] so well
Still [C] I feel somehow [D] [G] we let you down
[C] [G]
[D] We were all somewhere [C] on the way, [Bm] and now I see
[G] We have to say,
[C] Rock and Roll [D] Circus [C] is in town
[G] And
[C]
[G] [C]
[G] Buffen lost his childlike dreams, [C] and Nick lost his [G] guitar
And Bird and Bray lie there too, and [C] Oberon's just a [G] rock and roll star
Behind these shades, the visions [C] fade, as I love a thing or [G] two
Oh, but if I had my time again, you [C] all know just what [G] I'd do
[D]
Rock and Roll's [C] a loose escape, [Bm] and there's some rises now
[G] I can't explain [C] the reason for [D] the sights and [G] for the sound

[C] [G] The [D] grease paint still [C] sticks to my face, [Bm] so what the hell [G] I can't erase
