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
