[Intro] G#m E F# C# E B F# C# [Verse 1]

G#m            E         F#
    Hello old lovers of mine

       C#         E
    My little boy wishes

       B         F#
    Of fortune's kisses

        C#          G#m
    Now dreams cast aside

           E      F#
    In the fading light

         C#       E
    Your crown of thorns

    B         F#
    Becomes a halo

       C#        G#m
    Of branching horns

E F#           C#     E  B F#
    And yet so beautiful

[Chorus]

      C#            G#m
    I see you gently swaying

         E      F#
    In a sea of seesaws

        F#          E
    Slumming in the shack

         B          F#
    Tony built last year

         F#          G#m
    I know you'll be holding

    E          F#
    Court with jackdaws

     F#          E
    Crying when nobody

         B          F#
    Ever sees your tears

          C#              G#m
    When no one sees your tears

[Interlude] (G#m) E F# C# E B F# C# G#m E F# C# E B F# C# [Verse 2]

G#m              E           F#
    What used to fly us from here

           C#         E
    To the stratosphere?

         B             F#
    What became of our passion

              C#        G#m
    Is there no one who cares?

             E          F#
    Hear the soft minor key

             C#     E
    Of the one-time me

              B    F#
    Still the acrobat

            C#          G#m
    With my heart on my sleeve

E F#            C#     E  B F#
    And it's so beautiful

[Chorus]

      C#            G#m
    I see you gently swaying

         E      F#
    In a sea of seesaws

        F#          E
    Slumming in the shack

         B          F#
    Tony built last year

         F#          G#m
    I know you'll be holding

    E          F#
    Court with jackdaws

     F#          E
    Crying when nobody

         B          F#
    Ever sees your tears

          C#              G#m
    When no one sees your tears

[Interlude] (G#m) E F# C# E B F# C# G#m E F# C# E B F# C# [Coda]

    C#
    Out back

    C#
    When the gates are closed

F# (9 fret) Like a pitiful skeleton pose

    C#
    We held our first line of defense

    C#
    Saw our likeness

F# (9 fret) And it made no sense

    C#
    Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt

F# (9 fret) Salvation in your every word

    C#
    Lost in the fray of everyday

[Chorus] Single Strum

    C#            G#m
    I see you gently swaying

         E      F#
    In a sea of seesaws

                    E
    Slumming in the shack

         B          F#
    Tony built last year

                   G#m
    I know you'll be holding

    E          F#
    Court with jackdaws

                 E
    Crying when nobody

         B          F#
    Ever sees your tears

          C#              G#m
    When no one sees your tears

[Interlude] (G#m) E F# C# E B F# C# G#m E F# C# E B F# C# [Outro]

G#m              E         F#
    You're still fighting, I see

            C#         E
    Like a modern day Bruce Lee

     B        F#            C#
    Standing proud in this parody
