D G Like silence she stands D Like laughter she falls G From a castle of sand D Like a memory she calls. A And the mocking birds greive G D 'Cause they can't make her cry A They'll soon start t'believe G D That the lady has died. A Oh what it all goes to show G D it ain't my job to say A For who am I to know G D why she's actin' this way G A D Dsus4 D [Verse 2] G Oh once again turn away, D if you're sure that it's done G Tell your prophets to pray, D tell your bandits to run A Take your eyelids of stone, G D they won't do you no harm A And take your cross made of bones, G D take your flypaper arms A And when everything's placed G D in your coffin of gold A Throw a scarf round your face G D 'cause the subway gets cold [Verse 3] G Pack up your sunflower smile D and your bandana blues G Take your worthless denials, D they're all you've got left to lose A Take your Tinker Bell lies G D and your weary desires A Take the tears in your eyes, G D take your cup full of fire A Ah give your lover a call, G D if your legs start to fail A And he'll come break your fall G D with a bed full of nails G A D Dsus4 D [Verse 4] G No need to glance back again, D there ain't nothin' to see G Just this drunken old man D and this woman and me A And you've made it quite plain G D that we're just wastin' time A And you say it seems strange G D that I'm staying behind A But don't you worry 'bout me, G D I can make it alone A 'Cause I got no place to be G D and I ain't far from home
