A5                        A5
Hear it when I crunch the leaves on the ground
A5                     D5
Imagine it's me, once green soon brown
A5                         E5               A5
And the wind will howl but I won't make no sound

A5              A5
After we pass through this circus
A5              D5
After they have swept the floor
A5                       E5             A5
It'll all go back to the way it was before

A5                            
I keep myself distracted with the mirror pen
A5                             D5
I store the words on paper instead of my head
            A5
It's like a cold glass of milk
            E5                    A5
When me and my stomach ache are stuck in bed

A5                                  
What if all the crazies are really sane
A5                           D5
They see something that the rest of us can't
A5
And I'll never feel the pain
E5                  A5
Of having to fade away

A5              A5
After we pass through this circus
A5              D5
After they have swept the floor
A5                       E5             A5
It'll all go back to the way it was before

D5                   A5
I'm fine being by myself
A5                     E5
Not wasting wishes on women
E5                            A5
When I'm throwing pennies in the well

D5                   A5
I'm fine being by myself
                   E5
I still got my tongue, don't I?
E5              A5
And a story to tell

A5              A5
After we pass through this circus
A5              D5
After they have swept the floor
A5                       E5             A5
It'll all go back to the way it was before

A5              A5
After we pass through this circus
A5              D5
After they have swept the floor
A5                       E5             A5
It'll all go back to the way it was before

A5                       E5             A5
It'll all go back to the way it was before
A5                       E5             A5
It'll all go back to the way it was before
A5                       E5             A5
It'll all go back to the way it was before
