A5            E5                  C5             G5           A5
So many years ago, many more than I'd even care to bear in my mind
             E5                G5       D5
From the darkest of all places I found you
A5      E5                   C5            G5                A5 
All the limbs in their right places and a heart made of real gold
             E5              G5          D5
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind


C5     E5      Dadd11      C5               E5             Dadd11        C5
Every night I returned to watch them- The master and the puppet in the show
            E5  Dadd11   C5                      E5  Dadd11         C5  
He said "Oh no, I cannot sell him. Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."


       A5           E5         C5           G5   
Please sell me your puppet, sir, name your price oh please! 
    A5           E5      G5                D5
Whatever you may ask, tenfold the price I pay
A5        E5             C5              G5
Did I not make it clear? This debate is over
       A5    E5             G5          D5
I will never part from this puppet, my son


C5           E5     Dadd11        C5                    E5             Dadd11        C5
With hungry eyes I followed them all night, the blind master and the puppet he had made
    E5      Dadd11         C5                  E5         Dadd11       C5
No, sir, to sell is not my will!  The doll is mine, even if I have to kill


Bb5          D5     C5               Bb5      D5             C5            Bb5
So it shall be, if this is what it takes.  Greed is truly blinder than me
         D5   C5           Bb5                D5         C5             Bb5
Heart of gold is what you wish for? So this little boy wants to be a puppet, for real


  ..D5  C5  Bb..  D5  C5  G5
Bb5  D5  C5  F5  Bb5 D5  C5  G5 


C5             Dadd11 D5
So I have the golden heart
C5        Dadd11      B5        D5    
Now only needing the voice of the master
C5          G5   Dadd11       E5 
Never feel hunger, never grow older
   C5            D5   B5                     A5
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show

A5      A5     A5          D5         E5   E5        G5
It's so hard to remember my life.. The times before the show
      G5  G5          C5        D5           D5                   A5
Can I ever cut off the strings? "Take a bow, now dance and sing..." (Sing!)
          A5     A5   D5                E5    E5       G5
Would you turn me to a child again? "No, never, I am your guide"
        G5         G5          C5
You can see a small grin on the face
       F5      D5       G5       E5
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place


   A5                                            E5   G5
Be careful what you wish for, wishes might come alive
( G5 )                                           E5  A5
The twines are pulling me every day and night
( A5 )                                                        E5   G5
The show, the glitter and all the fame, I'd give away for a life
( G5 )                                                                      
Some things can end with a word, they say
                            E5      A5
This only ends with a sharp knife (Knife!)
