Tom: E5

 E5      F#5                   
He says he looks in the mirror
C#5             A5           
And he can't tell anymore
E5   F#5             C#5                  A5 
Who he really is and who they believed him to be
 E5          F#5                      
And he says he walks a thin line
C#5              A5                
Between what is and what could be
 E5                 F#5    
and he's getting closer
 C#5                 A5              
to something he can't understand


B5                    E5
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
B5                    E5
and his throne of ice is melting
B5
He climbed his ladder 
E5
There was nothing there
A5
Now it's a long way down


      E5            F#5        C#5
Cause on and on and on he goes
        A5     E5
Dancing on the grave
        F#5                  C#5     A5
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
    E5         F#5           C#5
and on and on and on he goes
         A5          E5
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
    F#5             A5
and castles made of sand


E5       F#5                        
He says his head is filled up with
C#5             A5
Cartoons and fairy tales
E5                         F#5                
and he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
C#5            A5
With smiles on their faces
E5          F#5        
He's built a pretty cage
C#5            A5
His show's on a beautiful stage
E5                 F#5
With candy coated prison bars
C#5                       A5
and chains that look like jewelry


B5                    E5
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
B5                    E5
and his throne of ice is melting
B5
He climbed his ladder 
E5
There was nothing there
A5
Now it's a long way down


      E5            F#5        C#5
Cause on and on and on he goes
        A5     E5
Dancing on the grave
        F#5                  C#5     A5
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
    E5         F#5           C#5
and on and on and on he goes
         A5          E5
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
    F#5             A5
and castles made of sand


C#5                   A5
Cause he lives inside
         E5                  F#5
of fairy tales and castles now
C#5                       A5
and there's no room inside
               E5           F#5         A5   A5      
for false expectations and illusions


B5                    E5
There's a crack in his plastic crown
B5                    E5
and his throne of ice is melting
B5
He climbed his ladder 
E5
There was nothing there
A5
Now it's a long way down
A5
It's along way down


      E5            F#5        C#5
Cause on and on and on he goes
        A5     E5
Dancing on the grave
        F#5                  C#5     A5
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
    E5         F#5           C#5
and on and on and on he goes
         A5          E5
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
    F#5             A5
and castles made of sand


      E5            F#5        C#5
Cause on and on and on he goes
        A5     E5
Dancing on the grave
        F#5                  C#5     A5
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
    E5         F#5           C#5

(Cause on and on and on he goes) of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
