[E]
[A] [E] [D]
[E] [A] Down on the midway, [E] [G#m] the shadows are creeping, [B] the carnies are sweeping, [E] [A] the [E] sawdust and sand.
Just out of our shine, by the mad [B] mouse, house paint on [E] canvas, [Bm] the world's [E] fading man.
[A]
Inside a [E] figure, beckoned [G#m] us closer, [B] and though [A] we were [E] unsure, [F#m] we [G#m] went anyway.
[A] He said, come in here quick, [E] cause you're burning daylight.
[G] We were caught in [D] the twilight, [B] with [G#] nothing to [C#m] say.
Has anybody [F#m] here, [E] [A] can you [E] find my shadow?
[C#m] Like a slow [F#] burning candle, [F#m] [E] [A] I thought it would [G#] last.
[C#m] [F#m] Seems like [E] I've lost [A] what was too [E] hard to handle.
Now [G#] there's less of [C#m] my future, [F#] and more [B] of [E] my past.
[A]
Smoke colored eyes, [G#m]
[E] and a face made out of [B] angles, her silhouette [E] dangles, like a drunk [A] cigarette.
She said, what the hell?
[E]
When she spot her stranger, [B]
[E] and [B] he felt the [E] danger, [Bm] with the sway [E] of her hips, [A]
she looked
in his [G#m] eyes,
[E] the windows were broken.
[B]
No [E] curtains were hanging, [F#m] between him [E] and the [A] storm.
She slid him [E] a tumbler, of shoe polish brandy.
[G]
She said, this comes in handy, [B]
when you need [G#] to stay [C#m] warm.
Has anybody [F#m] here, [G#m]
[A] can you [E] find my shadow?
[C#m] Like a [F#] slow burning candle, [F#m] [E] I [A] thought it [G#] would [C#m] last.
[F#m] Seems [E] like I've lost [A] what was [E] too hard to handle.
[G#] Now there's less [C#m] of my future, [F#] and [C#] more of [E] my past.
[F#] [E]
She said, I miss you a lot, wherever you've gone off.
[B]
But I [C#m] miss [F#] you [E] more, when you're standing right [A] here.
You somehow [E] seem real, when you're just a memory.
[B]
You're more like [E] a ghost, when you're standing [A] so near.
He said, just cause you can't recall,
[E] don't mean it didn't happen.
[B] And just [E] cause you can remember, [Bm] don't mean [E] that it did.
[A] She watched him leave, [E] and the clown swept up the [G] spotlight.
