Am       C              G
The marionette has your number

               Am                     C                   G
It pullin your arms and legs till you can't stand on your own

              Am                C             G
Dragging your conscience on the stage and you heart gets rearranged

        Am               C                G
And you cannot tell your mentor from your maker

Am          C                    G
Look at the crowds bleeding with laughter

         Am           C              G
Over the way you entertain at beckon call

           Am             C      G
They don't see behind the lights or the painted background

Am             C          G
They just like to see you fall
CHORUS:
C Am        C            G
    But you don't really mind

C Am             C            G
    Cause you're just wasting time

C Am          C       G
    You can't feel anything

           C   Am C G
    Just a boy on a string
VERSE 2:
Am       C            G
I feel a sadness like Gapetto

             Am           C            G
Watching the life that he created run away,

           Am            C           G
Seeing the puppeteer's intrusion and holding the remains

   Am               C       G
Of puppets that had rotted away

Am          C                G
One day the curtain will not open

               Am          C   G
And all of the crowds will go away

Am            C            G
Someday those strings will choke you

Am    C        G
But until that day
