Reflections Of The Marionette

2x [F#m] [A] [E] [B]

1.
[F#m]call the dogs and sound the horns
the c[A]ity key of where i’s born
has been s[E]tolen by someone I thought I k[B]new
she [F#m]blew in with some angel dust
from s[A]outhern state where love is lust
and I h[E]ope she’s gone by the time this song is t[B]hrough
but [E]out among the passers by she w[B]ets her lips sweats her eyes
[C#m]baits her tongue with pity for her p[B]rey
[A]she transcends the avenue wh[E]ile she smiles at me she winks to you
I g[B]uess I’ll take my place in yester[A]day

[A]and darlin' I cant w[E]ait for you to leave this to[A]wn
you just got here too l[E]ate and no one wants you ‘r[B]ound
with one foot on my [A]back and the other on the r[E]ail
I don’t want to see you f[B]all I just want to see you f[E]ail

2.
well the [F#m]night is sweet the night’s divine
it s[A]tains your teeth with blood red wine
and l[E]eaves you lying in your enemy’s [B]arms
and w[F#m]hile you mumble down the hall
s[A]omething ‘bout a skin made wall
you f[E]ind you’re just a sucker for her ch[B]arms
‘cause the v[E]anity that cakes her face s[B]ucks you into death’s embrace
you [C#m]feel your sense of self just fade [B]away
[A]see you’re just a one man show and o[E]nce you’re done its time to go
[B]hear some restless footsteps down the [A]way

[A]and darlin' I cant w[E]ait for you to leave this to[A]wn
you just got here too l[E]ate and no one wants you ‘r[B]ound
with one foot on my [A]back and the other on the r[E]ail
I don’t want to see you f[B]all I just want to see you f[E]ail

now the y[F#m]outh protests the failing light
with his s[A]hirt sleeves rolled in the humid night
he w[E]onders where it was that he went w[B]rong
and [F#m]in denial while he ascends
to her l[A]ofty room where all dreams end
he [E]watches while his footsteps lead him [B]on
[E]but his turn comes the next in line
the [B]well worn steps he slowly climbs
to [C#m]find her lying meat-hooks on disp[B]lay
and [A]in the streets the sirens sing
what w[E]ord they tell what news they bring
the [B]puppet in his cuffs of string o[A]beys

and darlin' I cant w[E]ait for you to leave this to[A]wn
you just got here too l[E]ate and no one wants you ‘r[B]ound
with one foot on my [A]back and the other on the r[E]ail
I don’t want to see you f[B]all I just want to see you f[E]ail
I don’t want to see you f[B]all I just want to see you f[E]ail
