THE ACTUAL SONG...
Intro: [riff 1] [riff 2 x2] [riff 1] [riff 2 x2]
Am e
Short delay, the parrot blues
f C
Little voices mimicking
e fM7 Am7/e
It's not so hard to make that sound
Am e
So watch your back, The Ides of March
f C
Cut your hair like Joan of Arc
e fM7 Am7/e f
Disguise your will; they'll find you out
[riff 3] E7 [riff 2 x4]
And when they do...
F [Riff 4] G
Look out
F [riff 5] G
There's money lenders inside the temple
F [riff 6] C
The circus tiger's gonna break your heart
G [riff 7] D5/A
Something so wild turned into paper
F [riff 13] G [riff 8] [riff 1] [riff 2 x2]
If I loved you, well that's my fault
Am e
Bitchin' heat, the alpha male
f C
Not something she'd ever tell,
e fM7 Am7/e
Except when she got deathly high
Am e
And out it came, like summer rain
f C
Washed the cars and everything
e fM7 Am7/e f
Felt clean for just a little while
[riff 3] E7 [riff 2 x4] F [riff 4] G
A telethon... We drunk dialed
F [riff 5]G
There's starving children; they ain't got no mother
F [riff 6]C
There's pink flamingos living in the mall
G [riff 7] D5/A
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
F [riff 5]G
If somebody would just take my call
[riff 8]D5/A [riff 9] G
Take my call
D5/A [riff 9] G
Take my call
C
Hello?
F
Patterns in my mind now moving slow
C
Sorrow all across the surface rolls
G
Smoothing out the edges of the stone
D5/A
The lights are out; where'd everybody go?
F [riff 4] [riff 1] [riff 2 x2]
Hello?
Am e
Erase yourself and you'll be free
f C
Mandala destroyed by the sea
e f Am7/e
All we are is colored sand
Am e
So pay to ride the ferris wheel
f C
Smile, all that you can feel
e fM7 Am7/e f
is gratitude for what has been
[riff 3]E7 [riff 2 x4]
'Cause it did not
F [riff 4] G
happen
F [riff 5] G
There's money lenders inside the temple
F [riff 13]G
The circus tiger's gonna break my heart
E [riff 11]F
Something so wild turned into paper
D5/A [riff 12] G
If I loved you, well that's my fault
F [riff 5] G
There's money lenders inside the temple
F [riff 10]G
This crystal city's gonna fall apart
E [riff 11]F
When all their power turns into vapor
D5/A [riff 12] G
If I miss you, well that's my fault
D5/A [riff 9] G
That's my fault
D5/A [riff 9] G
That's my fault
