A D E
A*
Well I woke up in mid afternoon 'cause that's when it all hurts the most
A D E
A*
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm al-ways the host
C#m D
A*
If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts
E D
A*
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
A D E
A*
Well I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
A D E
A*
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
C#m D
A*
If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
E D
A*
And though I'll never forget your face sometimes I can't remember my name
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, don't cry
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, I know why, but
C#mD E D
A*
He--y, Missus. Potter, won't you talk to me
A D E
A*
And there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
A D E
A*
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
C#m D
A*
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
E D
A*
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
A D E
A*
Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
A D E
A*
Oh and the ghosts of the tilt-o-whirl will linger inside of your head
C#m D
A*
Oh and the Ferris wheel junkies will spin there forever instead
E D
A*
And when I see you, a blanket of stars covers me in my bed
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, don't go, I said
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, I don't know, but
C#mD E D
A*
He--y, Missus. Potter, won't you talk to me
A D E
A*
All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
A D E
A*
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
C#m D
A*
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
E D
A*
Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone but I need someone to help me sleep
A D E
A*
So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
A D E
A*
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
C#m D
A*
Well I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
E D
A*
Aw, but I'd sure like to find out so why don't you climb down off that movie screen
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, don't turn,
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, I burn for you
C#mD E D
A* A*
He--y, Missus. Potter, won't you talk to me
A D E A
When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
F#m7 E
A*
And orders another well, I wonder what he did that for
C#m A D A D A
A*
That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
E D
A*
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door.
A D E
A*
We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
A D E
A*
We stand up in the Palace, like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
C#m D
A*
Aw, we shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
E D
A*
Well, you can see a million miles tonight, but you can't get very far
E D
A*
Aw, you can see a million miles tonight, but you can't get very far
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, I won't touch and
C#m D A E
He--y, Missus. Potter, it's not much but
C#mD E D
A*
He--y, Missus. Potter, won't you talk to me
C#mD E D
A*
He--y, Missus. Potter, won't you talk to me
C#mD E D
A*
He--y, Missus. Potter, won't you talk to me
