INTRO: C majorC FF C majorC FF


VERSE:
 C majorC      FF       C majorC      E MajorE
Here I stand acting like a silly clown would,
 Fmaj7Fmaj7          AbAb      FF
I don't know why would anybody like to try
   C majorC   G+G      E minorEm
The changes I'm going through
 Fmaj7Fmaj7       AbAb F minorFm
A augmentedA hidden lie would fortify
 C majorC       G+G   E minorEm
Something that don't exist
    Fmaj7Fmaj7       F minorFm
But it ain't so bad, I'm just a lad,
  C majorC     G+G    E minorEm
So many more things to do,
   A minorAm      G+G  Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G    C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC FF
I intend to come right through them all with you.

VERSE:
  C majorC         FF   C majorC      E MajorE
My songs are merely dreams visiting my mind
  Fmaj7Fmaj7        AbAb
We talk a while by a crooked stile,
    C majorC     G+G   E minorEm
You're lucky to catch a few.
      Fmaj7Fmaj7      AbAb
There's no magic wand in a perfumed hand,
     C majorC   G+G   E minorEm
It's a pleasure to be true.
    Fmaj7Fmaj7      F minorFm
In my crystal halls a feather falls
    C majorC    G+G    E minorEm
Being beautiful just for you
     A minorAm      G+G  Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G   C majorC FF C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
But that might not be quite true, that's up to you.

VERSE:
 C majorC       FF    C majorC       E MajorE
Dawn crept in unseen to find me still awake
  Fmaj7Fmaj7            AbAb
A augmentedA strange young girl sang her songs for me
   C majorC       G+G    E minorEm
And left 'fore the day was born.
   Fmaj7Fmaj7        F minorFm
That dark princess with saddening jest
   C majorC     G+G   E minorEm
She lowered her eyes of woe,
   Fmaj7Fmaj7           F minorFm
And I felt her sigh, I wouldn't like to try
   C majorC      G+G   E minorEm
The changes she's going through
    A minorAm       G+G   Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G    C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC FF C majorC
But I hope love comes right through them all with you.
