Intro: D Gmaj7 I want you to know Bm I'm a mirrorball Gmaj7 D I'll show you every version of yourself tonight Gmaj7 I'll get you out on the floor Bm Shimmering beautiful Gmaj7 And when I break, it's in a million pieces Verse 1: D G Hush, when no one is around, my dear Bm You'll find me on my tallest tip-toes G Spinning in my highest heels, love D Shining just for you D G Hush, I know they said the end is near Bm But I'm still on my tallest tip-toes G Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you Verse 2: D F#m Em Bm Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me? D F#m Em I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones Bm These hunters with cell phones Pre-Chorus 3: F#m G Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you F#m G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse Verse 4: D F#m Em What should be over burrowed under my skin Bm In heart-stopping waves of hurt D F#m Em I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze Bm Tell me what are my words worth, because D G You are not like the regulars Bm The masquerade revelers G Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten Pre-Chorus 1: F#m G Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die Bm A I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you F#m G Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry A I'm setting off, but not without my muse Chorus: D And they called off the circus, burned the disco down G When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns Bm I'm still on that tightrope G I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me and Bm I want you right here D F#m Em A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground Bm With no one around to tweet it D F#m While I bathe in cliffside pools Em Bm With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief D I'm still a believer, but I don't know why G Bm I've never been a natural, all I do is try, try, try Bm I'm still on that trapeze G I'm still trying everything to keep you looking at me Outro: F#m D Take me to the Lakes, because I'm a mirrorball Take me to the lakes F#m I'm a mirrorball D Bm I'm setting off, but not without my muse D No, not without you
