[Verse]
D                 Gbm
The dance is over now

       Bm          D              G
As the melody just echoes in the night

G      A                G      A
Of the love song that I sang, out of tune

A                    D        G
To a drummer, out of time

D                     Gbm
I tripped the light fantastic

    Bm            D7              G
And never hearing harmonies were lost

G       A     G             A
And now I sit alone, in the silence

A              D      G A
Looking at the cost
[Chorus]
D                     G
'Cause the piper came today

G              D
He was hell to pay

D                       A
Cause he took my world away

A7                   D
When the piper came today
[Bridge]
D                    Gbm
In the shadows of the dim light

       Bm     D                  G
As the piper plays, the cheaters hide

A             G
Never giving thought

        A7                        D
To the cost, of the never-ending lies

D                          Gbm
And the sweater played his music

Bm                D7            G      Am Bm D
The more is added to the bitter price

A                     G
For the dance is over now

         A                         D       G D
And the melody just echoes in the night
[Outro]
D                     G
'Cause the piper came today

G              D
He was hell to pay

D                       A
Cause he took my world away

A7                   D
When the piper came today

How people find the way

When the piper came today
