[Intro]
G#m E F# C# E B F# C#


[Verse 1]

G#m           E         F#
    Hello old lovers of mine 
       C#         E 
    My little boy wishes
       B         F#
    Of fortune's kisses 
        C#          G#m
    Now dreams cast aside 
    
           E      F#
    In the fading light 
         C#       E 
    Your crown of thorns 
    B         F#
    Becomes a halo 
       C#        G#m
    Of branching horns 
E F#           C#     E
    And yet so beautiful
B F# 


[Chorus]
      C#            G#m
    I see you gently swaying 
         E      F#
    In a sea of seesaws 
                    E
    Slumming in the shack 
         B          F#
    Tony built last year 
                     G#m
    I know you'll be holding
    E          F# 
    Court with jackdaws
                 E
    Crying when nobody
         B          F#
    Ever sees your tears 
          C#              G#m
    When no one sees your tears 


E F# C# E B F# C#
G#m E F# C# E B F# C# 


[Verse 2]
G#m              E           F#
    What used to fly us from here 
           C#         E
    To the stratosphere? 
         B             F#
    What became of our passion 
              C#        G#m
    Is there no one who cares? 
             E          F#
    Hear the soft minor key 
             C#     E
    Of the one-time me 
              B    F#
    Still the acrobat 
            C#          G#m
    With my heart on my sleeve 
E F#            C#     E
    And it's so beautiful 
B F#


[Chorus]
      C#            G#m
    I see you gently swaying 
         E      F#
    In a sea of seesaws 
                    E
    Slumming in the shack 
         B          F#
    Tony built last year 
                   G#m
    I know you'll be holding
    E          F# 
    Court with jackdaws
                 E
    Crying when nobody
         B          F#
    Ever sees your tears 
          C#              G#m
    When no one sees your tears 


[Coda]
    C#
    Out back
    C#
    When the gates are closed 
                            F# (9 fret)
    Like a pitiful skeleton pose 
    C#
    We held our first line of defense 
    C#
    Saw our likeness 
                   F# (9 fret)
    And it made no sense 
    C#
    Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt 
                         F# (9 fret)
    Salvation in your every word 
    C#
    Lost in the fray of everyday 


[Chorus]
    C#            G#m
    I see you gently swaying 
         E      F#
    In a sea of seesaws 
                    E
    Slumming in the shack 
         B          F#
    Tony built last year 
                   G#m
    I know you'll be holding
    E          F# 
    Court with jackdaws
                 E
    Crying when nobody
         B          F#
    Ever sees your tears 
          C#              G#m
    When no one sees your tears 

[Outro]
G#m              E         F#
    You're still fighting, I see 
            C#         E
    Like a modern day Bruce Lee 
     B        F#            C# 
    Standing proud in this parody
