Verse 1:
D D/F# G5 Asus4 Bm7
Some time ago I wandered down a path
Asus4*
That beckoned with a whisper
Gmaj7 Dadd9/F# Emadd9 G5
It crept up and latched upon my back
Asus4*
Now it's with me on the road
D D/F# G5 Asus4 Bm7
Its Machiavellian movements are a test
Asus4*
To witness in the flesh
Gmaj7 Dadd9/F# Emadd9 G5
Makes me smile when I should be crying
Asus4*
And it never lets me rest
Chorus:
Bm7 Asus4* G5
If you see me smiling
D/F#
It's forceful and violent
Emadd9 Emadd9/F# G5
Oh, it's still there though in the silence
Asus4*
'Cause I'm always on stage
Verse 2:
D D/F# G5 Asus4 Bm7
There's gack and drink and steroids on the counter
Asus4*
Do you think you're some kind of rockstar
Gmaj7 Dadd9/F# Emadd9 G5
I did all that when I was on the dole
Asus4*
But the money didn't stretch as far
Bm7 Bm7/C# D
But at least then I had my head up on my shoulders
Emadd9
And faced love without fear
Emadd9/F# Gmaj7 Dadd9/F#
But it took all that away
Emadd9 G5
And put my failures on display
Asus4* Bm7/C#
And, now you're no longer here
Chorus:
Bm7 Asus4* G5
If you see me smiling
D/F#
It's forceful and violent
Emadd9 Emadd9/F# G5
You had my soul when it was vibrant
Asus4*
Before I lost it on a stage
Bm7 Bm7/C# D
If you see me smiling
Emadd9 Emadd9/F# G5
It's forceful and violent
Asus4*
You had my soul when it was vibrant
Bm7 Bm7/C#
Before I lost it on a stage
