[F][Dm][G][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]So many years ag[Em]o, many more than I'[C]d
Even care [G]to bear in my [Am]mind
From the [Em]darkest of all
places [D]I f[G]oun[Em]d you[D]

[Verse 2]
[Am]All the limbs [Em]in their right
[C]places There my place is
And a [G]heart made of real [Am]gold
Sell me your [Em]little doll, oh [D]sir,
[G]I ask y[D]ou kind Oh sir, I[C] ask you kind.
Every [Em]night

[Verse 3]
I [D]returned to [C]watch them
The [Em]master and [D]the puppet
in the [C]show
He said: "Oh [Em]no,
[D]I cannot s[C]ell him
Priceless he [Em]is,
[D]masterpiece of [C]mine."

[Verse 4]
Please, [Am]sell me your [Em]puppet, [C]sir.
Name your [G]price oh please,
[Am]Whatever you [Em]may ask,
Ten[D]fold [G]the price [D]I pay

[Verse 5]
[Am]"Did I not [Em]make it clear?
[C]This debate is [G]over.
I will [Am]never [Em]part from this [D]pup[G]pet,
my [D]son"

[Verse 6]
[C]With hungry [Em]eyes I [D]followed them [C]all night
The blind [Em]master and the
[D]puppet he had [C]made
"No, [Em]sir, [D]to sell is not [C]my will!"
The doll's [Em]mine, even [D]if I have to [C]kill

[Verse 7]
[Bb]So it shall be[Dm],
if [C]this is what it [Bb]takes[Dm]
"Oh, greed's truly [C]blinder than [Bb]me"
"Heart of [Dm]gold [C]is what you [Bb]wish for?"
"So, this [Dm]little boy, [C]wants to be,
a [Bb]puppet, for real"
[Dm]So

[Verse 8]
[C][D][Bb][Dm]
[C][G][Bb][Dm][C]
[D][Bb]
[C]I h[G]ave[Em] a g[C]olden[D]
[Am]heart
[C]Now only [D]needing the [Bm]voice
of [A]the master[C]
Never feel [Em]hunger,
[D]never grow old[E]er[Em]
[C]My dream [D]was to be [B]a star in [E]a real p[Am]uppet s[Em]how

[Verse 9]
It's so [F]hard to remem[Am]ber my [Dm]life
The times be[E]fore the [Gm]show
Can I ever cut of the [Cm]strings?
[D]"Take a bow,
now dance and [Am]sing"
Would you [F]turn me [Em]to a child

[Verse 10]
[Dm]again?
"No, [Esus4]never, I am[E] your Gu[Gm]ide."
You can [D#]see a small grin on the [Cm]face
Of the [F]master,
[Dm]when the [G]puppet's in [Em]his place

[Verse 11]
Be [Am]careful what you wish [F]for
[Am]Wishes might [C]come alive
[Gm]The twin[D#]es are pulling me
[Cm]every day and [D#]night[E]
[Am]The show, the glitter and all the fame[F]
I'd [Am]give a away for a [C]life
[Gm]Some thing[D#]s can end with a word,[Cm]
they say
This [D#]only ends [E]with a sharp [Am]knife.
