[Am] The hero rode a white horse [Bm] across [Am] the desert to where his woman was.
[G] He'd been riding [Am]
for four days when he [C] saw the tower [Em] where [Am] she was locked.
[Em] In [Am] the moonlight, [G] he [Am] left his old steed near [Em] the drawbridge [Am] that [E] he crossed.
[A]
[Am] And by way of a rope ladder, he tippy-toed [G] to where [A] his woman was.
If
[D] I recall, [G]
you're the actor who followed the stars,
[F] searching [Dm] for [Fm] the lost [D] city of Mars.
Hoping [C] time could heal the scars, [D] [Cm]
knowing [Dm] fate [Em] held no [D] bars.
[A] [D]
Those that knew [C] you [G] always said you'd go far.
[E] [Fm] Are you the [Dm] one who [B] I think you are?

[Am] Set the [Ab] madman from the steeple spire.
[G]
[E] Set [A] the crowd from down below.
[E] [A] So the [E] madman climbed the steeple spire [G] and [Am] let a crystal [E] ball of tear fall [G] on the [C] crowd down [A] below.
[D] If I recall, [Am] [Dm]
you're the actor who [C] took to the [E] stage.
[Fm] Set the world [Dm] ablaze [Cm] with [E] your anger [Am] and your rage.
[D]
And with every new [C] leap, [D] [Em] you turned and rode a new page.
[E]
Cleverly [C] concealing your [B] real [Am] age.
[D]
Those that knew you [Am] were always quite [G] amazed.
[C] [F] Are you the one [G] [Em] that can take this place?
