--Verse 1--
D A# D
I never lie to myself tonight.
D A# D
Rose-tinted eyes, color my sorrow a shade of wine.
A G A# A A#
Bye-bye black balloon.
See you real soon.
--Chorus--
D5 C#5 G5 A#5 C5
Oh, why you so sad? What have they done?
D5 C#5 G5 A#5 C5
Forget those mindless baboons, they’re off playing God.
D5 C#5 G5 A#5 C5
Copycats in cheap suits are playing it safe,
D5 C#5 G5 A5 A#5
While cannibals of bad news consume the parade.
Is it wonderful?
--Bridge--

--Verse 2--
D D A# D
Far, far from shore, the land of nightmares gone forever more.
D A# D
And I love you more than I can control.
A G A# A A#
I don’t e--ven try. Why would I?
--Chorus--
D5 C#5 G5 A#5 C5
Oh, why the long face? You’ve got it all wrong.
D5 C#5 G5 A#5 C5
Forget the rat in the race, we’ll choke chain them all.
D5 C#5 G5 A#5 C5
Fates favor the ones who help themselves.
D5 ~~~ D5 ~~~ C#5 ~~~ G5
The rest feel the sting of the lash as they row,
A#5 C5
the boat, the boat to
D5 ~~~ D5 ~~~ C#5 ~~~ C#5 ~~~
Hell!
--Outro--
G5 A#5 G5 A#5 x3
G5 A#5 G5 ~~~
