Toad the Wet Sprocket – Scenes From A Vinyl Recliner (Guitar Acoustic)

Cm
High on a wire,

              A
Poised for an imminent fall,

Cm
Clowns always smile,

                A
Greasepaint and lust in their pores,

Cm
Start to sway and I hold your hand,

A
Fall, the smile surrounds his head.

Em  D/F#   C
Hot ashes, clay,

Em  D/F#  C
Hot ashes fade,

   D                               C
To lean, to err, too far along for me,

   D                             C
To wait around, to smile is to accept.

Cm
In center ring,

           Asus2
Rolling in sawdust and hay,

Cm
Covered in paint,

          Asus2
Damn everything but the circus,

Cm
Damn the men and the women who stare,

Asus2
At the freaks in the cages and snares.

Em  D/F#   C
Hot ashes, clay,

Em  D/F#  C
Hot ashes fade,

   D                                C
To win, to err, to fall too far for safety,

   D                              C
To lean, to wait a while is too easy.

A     G/B         C                D
  Ooh ooh ooh  eh ooh ooh, ooh ooh oooh

Em  G      C             G   Em
Hot ashes, clay, (hard ashes clay),

Em  G     C
Hot ashes fade,

   D                                  C
To lean too long, to fall too far for safety,

   D                             C
To seem to smile, to lie is to accept,

   D                                  C
To lean too long, to fall too far for safety,

   D                         C
To stand alone aside is to accept.
