C               G/B       Am     Am9
an outcast of victorian society
  Dm               G                   G7/11  G7
a crying jag since long-gone childhood days
    C              G/B
the dream to be an albatross
     E  E/G#   Am
with alabaster wings
      Em
to be flying
  F        Dm        E4     E
before the last bell rings

    C                G/B          Am            Am9
the crushing arms of loneliness embracing still
    Dm              Dm              G    F C#
the sear and yellow leaf is drawing near
     F#m           F#m/E           Bm
this jaded heart escaping from the shadowplay
Bm/A        G            E/G#
what is the measure of a man ?
        B9                F#7/11  F#7
and the price that we all pay

(chorus)
B5   F#5           B5     F#5
 the final curtain falls
D5           F#5            C#5   E5
 none of the orchestra will play
C5             A5
 the stageplay life will hold
     E5               F#5
 the freakshow at the fair
            G5                F#5
 is there a straw in bursting dalles
  E5          B5
 will someone care ?

    C                G/B         Am    Am9
the looking glass, deceiver of reality
    Dm            Dm              G   F C#
the try of make-believe in who we are
        F#m           F#m/E                 
and the hiding in the mists of night will 
Bm        Bm/A
never end
      G                 E/G#
but a graceful heart prevails
        B9            F#7/11  F#7
and the meaning of a friend

(chorus)

(solo)
B5 F#5 B5 F#5
D5 F#5 C#5 E5
C5 A5 E5 F#5
G5 F#5 E5

(bridge)
B5          G5
mesmerized, hypnotized
    D5                  F#5  E5
the audience touched to tears
B5           C5
pay a visit, take a look
   F#5                 G5
so that the conscience clears

(chorus)
B5   F#5           B5    F#5
 the final curtain falls
D5           F#5            C#5  E5
 none of the orchestra will play
C5             A5                
 the stageplay life will hold
     E5               F#5
 the freakshow at the fair
            G5                F#5
 there is a straw in bursting dalles
 E5           B5
 someone will care
