[N] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [C] _
_ [F] _ Stone's rolled in the [Ab] middle of a circus, but the lights [Bb] are all [Fm] on you.
Try to fake the smile, but [Ab] the curtain calls are [Eb] you.
_ [C]
When [Db] the crowd begins [Eb] to cheer, it's a sign that [Ab] the end is drawing [Fm] near.
The sun's shining the [Eb] world, [C] _ and the lights [Fm] go _ _ out.
_ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ Tears fade right before [Db] their very eyes, [Eb] but a dark [Bb] begins to [Fm] shed.
_ You've been [Db] faking for [F] a while, [Db] causing the [Eb] death's threat.
[Db]
All behind these [Eb] casting pots is the image [Ab] called the man who tore [Fm] the pot.
Escaping the _ _ [C] world. _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ Fear [Eb] not, I [Fm] have descended.
_ Before [Cm] you [Ab] even knew, I've only [Eb] told a [Fm] mine of tales.
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ You smile, [Eb] you sing, can't help [Fm] but praise it.
All that [Cm] time's too [Ab] long ago, _ so every time I start to [Fm] shout.
[Eb] I'm jumping, I tell a way [Fm] I go. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ I'm [Cm] jumping, I tell a way I go.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ Stone's [Eb] rolled for a [Db] friend with a message, [Eb] but the message [F] failed to send.
[Fm] So many times I've failed, [Db] but the show's about [Eb] to end.
[C] _
[Db] Like an intermittent [Eb] break, like a [Ab] purgatory sending me to [Fm] shake.
I walk [Ab] off the _ [C] stage, and the lights [Fm] go out. _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] _
[Fm] Ooh, you would've never believed me while smiling.
[Db] You would've stopped to intrigue while I'm pounding.
[Fm] You would've pout just to shake it off, [Db] but it flatly smiled.
[Eb] _ _ _
Maybe [Db] you're not supposed to [Ab] know, but would it kill to just remind yourself [Fm] I'm gone?
I'm broken again.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ I [Eb] am not, I [Fm] have to say that.
_ Before [Ab] you even knew, I've only told [Eb] a mine of [Fm] tales.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ You smile, you [Eb] sing, can't [Fm] help but praise it.
All that [Eb] time's too long [Ab] ago, _ so every time I start to [Fm] shout.
I'm [Eb] jumping, I [Ab] tell a way I go.
[Eb] By the time [Fm] you hear me cry, _ I'll have lost you for thousands [Ab] of voices.
[Eb] All have [Fm] blinded by the sounds.
[Bb] No remorse [Ab] for me is found.
_ _ [Eb] I'm meant to be chained [Fm] to the ground.
I [Bb] have no soul, no hope, no goal, [Ab] I have no promises.
[Eb] Yet the mask [Cm] is sent [Fm] away.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Fm] _ _ So [Ab] every time I [Cm] take my _ [Db] leave, oh [Eb] darkness please [Cm] don't just leave [Fm] me _ be.
_ Holding on [Db] for life.
_ I [Eb] have _ [Ab] to _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Fm] say that.
Before you [Ab] even knew, _ I've only told a mine [Fm] of tales.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ You smile, you [Eb] sing, can't [Fm] help but praise it.
All that time's too [Ab] long ago, _ so every [Eb] time I start [Ab] to shout.
_ I'm jumping, I tell [Cm] a way I [Fm] go. _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
By the time this [Eb] little number ends, [Db] I'm gone.
And [C] you can't [G] cure [F] my mind. _
