  The show is over, close the storybook 
  A5           A5           D5       D5 
  There will be no encore 
  A5           A5           D5       D5 
  And all the random hands that I have shook, well they're 
  A5           A5           D5       D5 
  Reaching for the door 
  F5                     G5 
  I watch their backs as they leave single file 
  F5                     G5 
  You stood stubborn, cheering all the while

      A5     A5     D5     D5 
      I know I can be grey 
      A5     A5     D5     D5 
      And I know this loser's living fortunate 
      F5                         G5                ( Band in ) 
      'Cause I know you will love me either way 

Verse 2: 

  Most were being good for goodness sake, but you 

  Wouldn't pantomime 

  You are more beautifull when you awake 

  Than most are in a lifetime 

  Through the haze that is my memory, well 

  You stayed for drama, though you paid for a comedy


A5     A5     D5     D5 
      I know I can be colorful 
      A5     A5     D5     D5

      And I know this loser's living fortunate 
      F5                         G5 
      And I know you will love me either way
