Am                        Am
Hear it when I crunch the leaves on the ground
Am                     Dm
Imagine it's me, once green soon brown
Am                         E               Am
And the wind will howl but I won't make no sound

Am              Am
After we pass through this circus
Am              Dm
After they have swept the floor
Am                       E             Am
It'll all go back to the way it was before

Am                            
I keep myself distracted with the mirror pen
Am                             Dm
I store the words on paper instead of my head
            Am
It's like a cold glass of milk
            E                    Am
When me and my stomach ache are stuck in bed

Am                                  
What if all the crazies are really sane
Am                           Dm
They see something that the rest of us can't
Am
And I'll never feel the pain
E                  Am
Of having to fade away

Am              Am
After we pass through this circus
Am              Dm
After they have swept the floor
Am                       E             Am
It'll all go back to the way it was before

Dm                   Am
I'm fine being by myself
Am                     E
Not wasting wishes on women
E                            Am
When I'm throwing pennies in the well

Dm                   Am
I'm fine being by myself
                   E
I still got my tongue, don't I?
E              Am
And a story to tell

Am              Am
After we pass through this circus
Am              Dm
After they have swept the floor
Am                       E             Am
It'll all go back to the way it was before

Am              Am
After we pass through this circus
Am              Dm
After they have swept the floor
Am                       E             Am
It'll all go back to the way it was before

Am                       E             Am
It'll all go back to the way it was before
Am                       E             Am
It'll all go back to the way it was before
Am                       E             Am
It'll all go back to the way it was before
