[Verse 1]
[A]
tene[Asus4]ment cast[A]le[Asus4]
[Am]Lately he's taken to painting
[C]the pastel wall[Am]s bro[Asus2]wn
He's [Am]taken the curtain
[F]s d[Am]own
He's swept with the broom
of con[Asus4]tempt
And the rooms [Am]have an empty
[Bsus4]ring[Asus2]
He's cleaned [Am]with the tears
Of [Dsus2]an actor [Asus4]who fears[Am] for the laughter's
sting
[Bsus4][Asus2][Bsus4][Asus2]

[Verse 2]
[Asus4]I can't go back there anymore[A]
[Asus4]You know my keys
won't fit the [A]door
[Asus4]You know my thoughts
don't fit the [A]man[Am]
They never can,
[C]the[Am]y never c[Asus4]an[A]
[D][A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 3]
I had a king dressed in [Asus4]drip-dry
and and paisley
[Am]Lately he's taken to saying
[C]I'm crazy and b[Am]lind[Asus2]
He lives in [F]an other [Am]time
Ladies in gingham still blush
[Asus4]While he sings them of wars[Am]
[Bsus4]and wine[Asus2]
But I in my [Am]leather and [Asus4]lace
I can nev[Am]er become that kind

[Verse 4]
[Bsus4]I can't g[Asus2]o[Asus4]
back there [A]anymore
[Asus4]You know my keys
won't fit [A]the door
[Asus4]You know my thoughts
don't fit [A]the [Am]man
They never [C]can,
[Asus4]they never c[A]an
[Asus4][A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 5]
I had a king in a [Asus4]salt-rus ted carriage
carriage
Who car[Am]ried me off to his country
for [C]marriage [Asus2]too soon
Beware [Am]of th[F]e power of moons
[Am]There's no one to blame
No there's [Asus4]no one to name a[Am]s
a traitor [Bsus4]here[Asus2]
The king's on the [Am]road
And [Asus4]the queen's in [Am]the grove 'til the
end of the year
[Bsus4][Asus2][A]

[Verse 6]
[Asus4]I can't go back there anymore[A]
[Asus4]You know my keys won't fit the door[A]
[Asus4]You know my thoughts don't
fit [A]the [Am]man
They never can,
[C]the[Am]y nev[A]er can[Asus4][Am]
They never [Asus4]can, they never c[A]an
