B Bb E Francis didn't give a fuck about the rollbacks, B Bb E overproduction, reduced demand. B Bb E Never gave much thought to disputed contracts. E B F# In his short life he'd only ever known E B F# panic, fear, pain, darkness, pandemonium F# F# in this hell that was his home and B Bb E B Bb E 4th quarter ruining expectations expedited their demise. B Bb E The panic grew as the humans stalked among them, B F# when the screaming began. E B F# Francis shut his eyes and felt the hand of the humanity F# Ab B F# brush over him but then his killers back turned for a moment. Ab B F# A blinding ray of light spread across the floor. Ab B F# In a crimson pool he saw his own reflection
F# Hold
as he bolted for the door.
Ab Bb B Lead in
E Ab Bb B Not just some fractured fairy tail, E Ab Bb B although I wish that that were true. E Ab Bb B This is a fable far too real
E Ab Hold & pick strings sensually x4
that we somehow still cling to.
Picking changes here. See the original song and you'll get the idea.
Ab (Palm) B F# The storylines that bridge the chasms between cognition and belief. Ab (palm) B F# Any other plausible denial that might offer some relief. Ab (palm) B F# From the dissonance that francis left screaming in his wake. Ab (palm) B F# Deep into the heart of the cities parklands he made good his escape. E B F#(palm) || E B F# And where for five months he ran free and replayed his only fond memory. F# Ab B F# Just a warm and distant dream of his mothers loving eyes upon him. Ab B F# Ab B Francis made it farther than she did. A quarter mile just short F# of the city limits they finally captured him. Ab B F# || Ab And there's a statue right behind where it's written to remind B F# Ab B F# us of all their contributions. To me it marks "potemkin city limits" F# E Ab Bb B Lead in as francis cast in bronze to the realm of god. E Ab Bb B Not just some fractured fairy tail, E Ab Bb B although I wish that that were true. E Ab Bb B This is a fable far too real E Ab that we somehow still cling to.
