Strum
D-DU-UDU
Sad  as a painted clown,  a beautiful boy in an ugly  town
 but when  your circus closes  down don't walk  away from me
you've  been asleep too long,  the birds  are bruises in  the dawn
 the pounds  of flesh between us stretch  as far  as you can see
 Muted
 But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow
 you could see  what it means to be making  the scene with me
 Muted
 But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried
 you could find a little time
 for the life I can see  in your eyes, don't go.  Don't go.
Sometimes  you just explode  and no  one alive can break  your code
You  have a language of  your own, an  unconnected road
The  people you called your friends,  the places  you won't go  again
 The decades  lost in finding  them, you'll have  to let them go.
 Muted
 But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow
 you could see  what it means to be making  the scene with me
 Muted
 But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried
 you could find a little time
 for the life I can see  in your eyes, don't go.  Don't go.
