Am            Em                  C             G/B           Am
So many years ago, many more than I'd even care to bear in my mind

             Em                G       D/F#
From the darkest of all places I found you

Am      Em                   C            G/B                Am 
All the limbs in their right places and a heart made of real gold

             Em              G          D/F#
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind

C     Em      Dadd11      C               Em             Dadd11        C
Every night I returned to watch them- The master and the puppet in the show

            Em  Dadd11   C                      Em  Dadd11         C  
He said "Oh no, I cannot sell him. Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."

       Am           Em         C           G/B   
Please sell me your puppet, sir, name your price oh please! 

    Am           Em      G                D/F#
Whatever you may ask, tenfold the price I pay

Am        Em             C              G/B
Did I not make it clear? This debate is over

       Am    Em             G          D/F#
I will never part from this puppet, my son

C           Em     Dadd11        C                    Em             Dadd11        C
With hungry eyes I followed them all night, the blind master and the puppet he had made

    Em      Dadd11         C                  Em         Dadd11       C
No, sir, to sell is not my will!  The doll is mine, even if I have to kill

Bb          Dm     C               Bb      Dm             C            Bb
So it shall be, if this is what it takes.  Greed is truly blinder than me

         Dm   C           Bb                Dm         C             Bb
Heart of gold is what you wish for? So this little boy wants to be a puppet, for real

C             Dadd11 D5
So I have the golden heart

C        Dadd11      B        D5    
Now only needing the voice of the master

C          G/B   Dadd11       E 
Never feel hunger, never grow older

   C            D5   B                     Am
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show

Am      Am6     Am          Dm         Esus4   E        Gm
It's so hard to remember my life.. The times before the show

      Gm6  Gm          Cm        Dsus4           D                   Am
Can I ever cut off the strings? "Take a bow, now dance and sing..." (Sing!)

          Am6     Am   Dm                Esus4    E       Gm
Would you turn me to a child again? "No, never, I am your guide"

        Gm6         Gm          Cm
You can see a small grin on the face

       F5      Dm       G5       Em
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place

   Am                                            E   G
Be careful what you wish for, wishes might come alive

(G)                                           E  Am
The twines are pulling me every day and night

(Am)                                                        E   G
The show, the glitter and all the fame, I'd give away for a life

(G)                                                                      
Some things can end with a word, they say

                            E      Am
This only ends with a sharp knife (Knife!)
