[Bb] [B]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[B] [Ebm] [Bb] [Eb] A short delay, the parrot [B] blues, [Ebm] little voices mimic [Bb] you
It's not so hard to [B] make that sound
[Eb] So [Bb] watch your back, the odds are marched
Cut your hair like Joan of Arc
Disguise your will, they'll [B] find you out
[Bb] And when they do, look [B] out
[Db] There's [B] moneylenders inside [Db] the temple
That [B] circus tiger's gonna break [Gb] your heart
Something [Db] so wild turned [Abm] into paper
If [B] I loved you, well that's my fault
[Eb]
[Gb] [Ebm] [Bb]
[Ebm] A [Bb] bitch in heat, the alpha male
Not something she'd ever tell
Except when she got [B] deathly high
[Eb] And out it came like summer [B] rain
[Gb] Washed the cars and [Bb] everything felt clean
For just a [B] little while
[Bb] I'd tell a song, we [B] drunked out
[Db] The [B] starving children, they ain't [Db] got no mother
There's pink [B] flamingos living [Gb] in the mall
I'd [Db] give a fortune to your [Abm] infomercial
[B] If somebody would just [Db] take my call
Take [Abm] my call, [Db] take [Abm] my call
[Db] [Gb] Hello, patterns in my [B] mind now moving slow
[Ebm] Sorrow all across the [Gb] surface rose
Smoothing out the edges [Ab] of the stone
The lights are out, let everybody [Abm] go [B] alone
[Abm] [Bb]
[Gb] [B] [Bb]
[Eb] Erase yourself and [Ebm] you'll be free
Mandala destroyed by [Bb] the sea
All we are is colored [B] sand
[Eb] So pay to ride the [B] ferris wheel
Smile, all that you can [Bb] feel is gratitude
[B] For what has been
Cause [Bb] it did not [B] happen
[Db] There's [B] money lenders [Db] inside the temple
That [B] circus tiger's gonna break [Db] my heart
Something [Bb] so wild turned [B] into paper
If you [Abm] love me then [Db] that's your fault
There's [B] money lenders inside [Db] the temple
This [B] crystal city's gonna [Db] fall apart
When all their [Bb] power turns [B] into vapor
[Abm] If I miss you, well [Db] that's my fault
[Abm] That's my fault,
[Ab] [Abm] that's my fault
