[N] [C]

[C]
[G] I changed my name in [F] search of faith to [C] find the Midas [G] touch
Oh, I [Bm] wish I'd never [G] wanted them
What [C] I want now, twice [G] as much
We crossed the mighty oceans
[F]
And we [C] had a few [G] divides
But [Bm] we never crossed the [G] motion
For we [C] felt too [G] much inside
You [D]
know all the [C] tales we tell
You [Bm] know the band so [G] well
Still I [C] feel somehow [D] we let you [G] down
[C] [G]
[D] We were lost somewhere [C] on the way
And [Bm] now I see we [G] have to pay
[C] Rock and Roll Circus [D]
is in [C] town

[C]
[G] And Buffen lost [Fm] his childlike [C] dreams
And Nick lost his [G] guitar
[Bm] And Bird and [D] Grey [G] lined the tube
And [C] Oberon's just a rock and [G] roll star
Behind these shades the visions fade
[C] As I love a thing [G] or two
[Bm] Oh, but if I had my time [G] again
You all [C] know just what I'd
[G] do
[D] Rockin'
[C] Moses Gate, it [Bm] mesmerizes
And I [G] can't explain the [C] reason
For the [D] sights and for the [G] sound
[C] [G]
We [D] were lost somewhere [C] on the way
[Bm] And now I see we have [G] to pay

[C] The [G]
[D] grease paint still sticks [C] to my face
So [Bm] what the hell I [G] can't erase
[C] The rock and roll feeling
[D] From my [C] mind, [Bm]
