{intro} 
 

D5            D5            E5             A5 - G5 - D5 
Laughing in a crown of jewels, numbness from a scepter's wound 
D5               D5           E5             A5 G5 - D5 
Toss and turn, I spin and learn, catch yourself before you burn 
D5                  D5     E5                A5 G5 D5 
Jokers dance before the king, jangling beads, a silver ring 
D5                    D5         E5          A5 G5 D5 
Close your eyes and bare the sound, jumping up, falling down 
 

A5                               D5         - G5 - D5  
Falling, falling, falling, falling down 
A5                                 D5         - G5 - D5 
Look yourself in the eye before you drown 
 
Royal rebels discover you; trust? you turn, there is no truth 

And circle, circle, why are you scared, why a smile instead of tears? 

I'm gulping smoke, I fade away, figures floating down to lay 

Meet the joker and the thief, the king and queen, but no relief 
  
Falling, falling, falling, falling down 

Look yourself in the eye before you drown 

Falling, falling, falling, Falling down 

(The king is in his counting house, counting out his money) 

Look yourself in the eye before you drown 

(The queen is in her parlor eating bread and honey) 
 
{Guitar solo: same chords as verse} 
  
I cross myself before I die, and the leaping man, he asked me why 

Well your rhythm is off, I reply, Now you must dance the dance that you imply 
 

     D5                       D5                  E5                  D5 
Your actions will follow you full circle round, your actions will follow... 
     D5                       D5                  E5                  D5 
Your actions will follow you full circle round, your actions will follow... 
     D5                       D5                  E5                  D5 
Your actions will follow you full circle round, your actions will follow... 
     D5                       D5                 E5 
Your actions will follow you full circle round, the higher the leap 
                         D5     A5 G5 D5  A5 G5 D5  A5 G5 D5 
I said, the harder the ground
