Verse 1:
G+G C majorC G+G
It happened today now I'm walking away
C majorC D MajorD
From these pieces of silver and blue
C majorC G+G C majorC
You say you can't see why this happens to me,
G+G D MajorD G+G
When it's really what's happening to you
C majorC G+G
Now I slept alone on a pallet of stones
C majorC D MajorD
Till you moved me from where I lay
C majorC G+G C majorC
But I can't sleep on imperial sheets
G+G D MajorD G+G
Where the bed always has to be me
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
I saw you clearing a space for me
D MajorD G+G C majorC
Here in your menagerie
D MajorD G+G C majorC
But I'm gonna dance over broken glass
G+G D MajorD G+G
And destroy all of these beautiful things
Verse 2:
C majorC G+G
The parties we throw and the people we know
C majorC D MajorD
Always make for a good holiday
C majorC G+G C majorC
But what'll we do for a table of two
G+G D MajorD G+G
Lonely people with nothing to say
C majorC G+G
I'm having it out with that old glass house
C majorC D MajorD
And these pieces of silver and blue
C majorC G+G C majorC
For I can see what you're wanting from me
G+G D MajorD G+G
And nothing I'm wanting from you
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
Blue are the keys that you gave to me
D MajorD G+G C majorC
To this old menagerie
D MajorD G+G C majorC
But I'm gonna dance over broken glass
G+G D MajorD G+G
And destroy all of these beautiful things
C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC
But I'm gonna dance over broken glass
G+G D MajorD G+G
And destroy all of these beautiful things
