C5                     A5
So you don?t get to be a saint
G5                    F5
Martyrs never last this long
C5                   A5
Guess I'll never be the one
G5                    F5
To defeat desire in song
F5
Here's a marker
G5             C5
Here's my naked skin
      F5
Our 'exhibit A'
F5            G5                 C5
Put a small x where I lost my way

C5                              A5
All the actors broke their legs
G5                     F5
And it?s to late to postpone
C5                    A5
The producer?s getting high
G5                    F5
And the audience went home
C5                        A5
Smile and take your awkward bow
G5                         F5
Turn and stumble off the stage
C5                  A5
Let the rain be your applause
G5                     F5
Every encore sooth your rage
F5
Squint with one eye
G5                C5
Hum a show-tune wait
           F5
For your right to say
F5                    G5                   C5
oh that?s where you must have lost your way

C5   A5   G5   F5
C5   A5   G5   F5

F5             G5              C5                    F5
Megaphones in helicopters squeal ?hey are you okay??
F5                   G5                    C5
Searchlights circle, where we lost our way

C5        A5             G5                 F5
All our accidents were purposeful and felt
C5             A5           G5                F5
Stripped of providence or any way to tell
C5          A5             G5                  F5
But our intentions were intangible and sweet
C5           A5              G5
Sick with simple math and shy discoveries
F5                            G5
Piled up against our impending defeat.
