Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][Bm][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Well I [G]woke up in mid-afternoon
[C]cause cause that's when it [D]all hurts the [G]most
I dream I never know anyone at the party
[C]and I'm al [D]ways the hos[G]t
If [Bm]dreams are like movies,
then memor[C]ies are films about [G]ghosts
You can [D]never escape,
you can only [C]move south down the coast
[G]

[Verse 2]
Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope
[C]of fortun[D]e and fam[G]e
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes
[C]through cir[D]cles of fla[G]me
If you've [Bm]nev er stared off in the dis[C]tance,
then your life is a [G]shame
And though I'll [D]never forget your face,
[C]sometimes I can't
remember my name
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Hey [C]Mrs. Pot[G]ter don't cry[D]
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. P[G]otter I know[D] why but
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. Pot[D]ter won't
you [C]talk to me
[G]

[Verse 4]
Well, there's a piece of Maria in
[C]every [D]song that I [G]sing
And the price of a memory is the memory
[C]of the sorrow[D] it bri[G]ngs
And there is al[Bm]ways one last light
to turn [C]out and one last bell to [G]ring
And [D]the last one out of the cir[C]cus
has to lock up everything
[G]

[Verse 5]
Or the elephants will get out and forget
[C]to remember [D]what you [G]said
And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will will
will [C]linger [D]inside of your [G]head
And the fer[Bm]ris wheel junkies
will [C]spin them forever instead
[G]When I see[D] you a blanket of
[C]stars covers me in bed
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. P[G]otter don't go[D]
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. P[G]otter I do[D]n't know but
[Bm]Hey [C]Mrs. Potter[D]
won't you [C]talk to me
[G]

[Verse 7]
All the blue light reflections [C]that color
my [D]mind when I [G]sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accom
[C]pany the[D] company I k[G]eep
All [Bm]the razor perceptions that
[C]cut just a little too [G]deep
Hey I can [D]bleed as well as anyone,
but I need [C]someone to help me sleep
[G]

[Verse 8]
So I throw my hand into the [C]air and
it [D]swims in the [G]beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirl
[C]ing dust [D]sparkle jet [G]stream
Well, I know [Bm]I don't know you and
you're [C]probably not what you [G]seem
But I'd [D]sure like to find out
So why don't you [C]climb down
off that movie [G]screen

[Verse 9]
[G]
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. Pot[G]ter don't [D]turn
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. Pot[G]ter [D]I burn for you
[Bm]Hey [C]Mrs. Potter [D]won't
you [C]talk to me

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 10]
When the [G]last king of Hollywood shatters
his [D]glass [G]on the floor
and orders another
Well, I wonder [Em]what he
[D]did that for[G]
That's when I [Bm]know that I have to get
out cause [G]I h[C]ave been there before
[G]So I gav[D]e up my seat at the bar
[C]and I head for the door
[G]

[Verse 11]
We drove out to the desert just to lie
[C]down beneath this [D]bowl of [G]stars
We stand up at the Palace like it's the last
[C]of the gre[D]at Pioneer[G]town bars
We shout [Bm]out these songs against
[C]the clang of electric [G]guitars
[D]You[C] can[G] see
[D]a million miles tonight
But [C]you can't get very far
[G]

[Verse 12]
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. Pot[G]ter
[D]I won't touch and
[Bm]Hey Mr[C]s. P[G]otter it's not[D] much but
[Bm]Hey [C]Mrs. Potter [D]won't you talk[C][G]
[Bm]to[C][D][C]
[G][Bm][C][D][C]

[Outro 1]
me
[G]
