 D
They say the king of birds

 D
And the queen of hearts

                  G
Wore each other's keys

                                 D
Before they called the wedding off

D
And all the feathers rained down

D
And the town fell asleep

               G
Pulling on the poems

                  D
For the midnight sun

                G
Pulling on the poems

                  D
For the midnight sun

With a guillotine smile (Guillotine smile)

And he turned to stone

Then they laid him in the creek

Where the river ran dry

                 G
To the mouth of wisdom

                D
And the end of doubt

D
Then the woman reappeared

D
With a blank spread smile

                 G
Took him by the rose

Then he turned to stone

Yeah, she handed him a rose

             D
Left him all alone
