A *3, Bm *1, F *2, Gbm *1
Verse 1: Strummed
A Bm F Gbm
Sometimes an empire doesn't fall
A Bm F Gbm
As masked invaders climb the walls
A Bm F Gbm
Or spreading fires or rising floods
A Bm F Gbm
Sometimes it dies within
A Bm F Gbm
The king and queen, they go to bed
A Bm F Gbm
On years of quiet neglect
Bm, Am, A, Gbm
To find the coffers bare but with
F# Gbm, Am, B
The musk of arrogance
F# Gbm, Am, B
The musk of arrogance
B (though I'm not sure he actually plays anything)
With me, you're making the same mistakes I made
B Something Gbm
with you I couldn't convey I felt the same
?? ?? ??
It's true, we're marionettes
Bm A
But we pull the strings
Something Am C# B
And here as we dance, we tangle
I'm spinning you round and closer we're wound
We're marionettes
Intro
A *3, Bm *1, F *3, Gbm *1
A *3, Bm *1, F *2, Gbm *1
A Bm F Gbm
There's comfort in a holding hand
A Bm F Gbm
A schedule on which you depend
A Bm F Gbm
A cage in which you're snugly penned
A Bm F Gbm
That's what we have become
A Bm F Gbm
A cyclone in a glass of wine
A Bm F Gbm
We both have wishbones for a spine.
Bm, Am, A, Gbm
But how long will we play this record's tattered side
F# Gbm, Am, B
Afraid to change the song?
F# Gbm, Am, B
Afraid to change the song?
(Into chorus again)
During the Chorus:
(The piano here is alternating between E and A, which you can get with your A
Major or A Minor at 5, strumming your A and D string. That little high piano riff
before the guitar comes in is C# and A; the C# is on the e string at fret9, the A
is on the b string at fret10. You can actually build a finger picking pattern on
this by barring at 7 and hitting your 3rd finger on the e string at 9, and your
pinky on the b string at 10. It's slightly uncomfortable. Leaving out the piano
part lets you hang out in an A Major at 5 and be readier for the chord shift up to B Major).
