G#m           E         F#
    Hello old lovers of mine
    C#         E
My little boy wishes
   B         F#
Of fortune's kisses
    C#          G#m
Now dreams cast aside
       E      F#
In the fading light
     C#       E
Your crown of thorns
B         F#
Becomes a halo
   C#        G#m
Of branching horns
E  F#           C#     E
    And yet so beautiful
( B  F# )
  C#            G#m
I see you gently swaying
    E      F#
In a sea of seesaws
                E
Slumming in the shack
     B          F#
Tony built last year
                 G#m
I know you'll be holding
E          F#
Court with jackdaws
             E
Crying when nobody
     B          F#
Ever sees your tears
      C#              G#m
When no one sees your tears
( E  F#  C#  E )
( B  F#  C# )
( G#m  E  F#  C# )
( E  B  F#  C# )
G#m              E           F#
    What used to fly us from here
       C#         E
To the stratosphere?
     B             F#
What became of our passion
         C#        G#m
Is there no one who cares?
         E          F#
Hear the soft minor key
        C#     E
Of the one-time me
          B    F#
Still the acrobat
        C#          G#m
With my heart on my sleeve
E  F#            C#     E
    And it's so beautiful
( B  F# )
  C#            G#m
I see you gently swaying
     E      F#
In a sea of seesaws
                E
Slumming in the shack
     B          F#
Tony built last year
               G#m
I know you'll be holding
E          F#
Court with jackdaws
             E
Cryin' when nobody
     B          F#
Ever sees your tears
      C#              G#m
When no one sees your tears
C#
Out back
C#
When the gates are closed
                        F#
Like a pitiful skeleton pose
C#
We held our first line of defense
C#
Saw our likeness
               F#
And it made no sense
C#
Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt
                     F#
Salvation in your every word
C#
Lost in the fray of everyday
C#            G#m
I see you gently swaying
     E      F#
In a sea of seesaws
                E
Slumming in the shack
     B          F#
Tony built last year
               G#m
I know you'll be holding
E          F#
Court with jackdaws
             E
Crying when nobody
     B          F#
Ever sees your tears
      C#              G#m
When no one sees your tears
G#m              E         F#
    You're still fighting, I see
        C#         E
Like a modern day Bruce Lee
 B        F#            C#
Standing proud in this parody
