 Clock strikes 12 and moondrops burst, out at you from their hiding place.
Em                   D                 C        B5       Em
Like acid and oil on a madmans face, his reasons tend to fly away

Come Suzie dear lets take a walk, just out there upon the beach
 Em               D                    C     B5         Em
I know you'll soon be married, and you'll want to know where winds come from

Well its never said at all, on the map that Carrie reads
 Em               D                     C    B5       Em

E5                   C5          D5                   E5
One door left to take you in, the other one just mirrors it
