[Intro]
EmFortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane, but the Ammemory remainsEm  
Em Am Em A Em A G D Em
[Verse 1]
EmHeavy rings on Amfingers Emwave, another star Adenies the Emgrave,
EmSee the nowhere crowd cry the Anowhere Gcheers of Emhonor.
EmLike twisted vines that grow, hide and swallow mansions whole,
EmAnd dim the light of an already Afaded GprimaEmdonna.
[Chorus]
EmFortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane,G  
EmFortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane, but the Ammemory remainsEm.
[Interlude]
Em Am Em A Em A G D Em
[Verse 2]
EmHeavy rings hold Amcigarettes Emup to lips that Atime Emforgets,
EmWhile the Hollywood sun Asets, Gbehind your Emback.
EmAnd can't the band play on, just Amlisten, they play my Emsong.
EmAsh to ash, dust to dusAt, Gfade to Emblack.
[Chorus]
EmFortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane,G  
EmFortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane, but the Ammemory remainsEm.
AmDance little tin DmgoddessEm  
EmLa da da da, da da daAm, la da da dEma (4x)
[Verse 3]
EmDrift away, fade away, little tin AmgoddessEm.
EmAsh to ash, dust to dust, fade to AblackEm.
EmFortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane,G  
Em (Don't play the last words, just sing.)
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane, but the (memory remains.)
EmAsh to ash, dust to dust, fade to black,
but the Ammemory remainsEm.
EmYeah! To the faded Amdreams Emencountered.
EmYeah! Yeah! AmYeah! EmYeah!
Em Am Em A Em A G D Em
AmDance little tin goddess Emdance.
EmLa da da da, da da daAm, la da da dEma (9x)
...and then it fades out.
