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
