Verse 1:

G# minorG#m           E MajorE         F#F#
    Hello old lovers of mine
       C#C#         E MajorE
    My little boy wishes
       BB         F#F#
    Of fortune's kisses
        C#C#          G# minorG#m
    Now dreams cast aside

           E MajorE      F#F#
    In the fading light
         C#C#       E MajorE
    Your crown of thorns
    BB         F#F#
    Becomes a halo
       C#C#        G# minorG#m
    Of branching horns
E MajorE F#F#           C#C#     E MajorE
    And yet so beautiful
BB F#F#

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

E MajorE F#F# C#C# E MajorE BB F#F# C#C#
G# minorG#m E MajorE F#F# C#C# E MajorE BB F#F# C#C#


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


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


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


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


Outro:
G# minorG#m              E MajorE         F#F#
    You're still fighting, I see
            C#C#         E MajorE
    Like a modern day Bruce Lee
     BB        F#F#            C#C#
