Am Em C G/B Am
So many years ago, many more than I'd even care to bear in my mind
Em G D/F#
From the darkest of all places I found you
Am Em C G/B Am
All the limbs in their right places and a heart made of real gold
Em G D/F#
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind
C Em Dadd11 C Em Dadd11 C
Every night I returned to watch them- The master and the puppet in the show
Em Dadd11 C Em Dadd11 C
He said "Oh no, I cannot sell him. Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."
Am Em C G/B
Please sell me your puppet, sir, name your price oh please!
Am Em G D/F#
Whatever you may ask, tenfold the price I pay
Am Em C G/B
Did I not make it clear? This debate is over
Am Em G D/F#
I will never part from this puppet, my son
C Em Dadd11 C Em Dadd11 C
With hungry eyes I followed them all night, the blind master and the puppet he had made
Em Dadd11 C Em Dadd11 C
No, sir, to sell is not my will! The doll is mine, even if I have to kill
Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
So it shall be, if this is what it takes. Greed is truly blinder than me
Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
Heart of gold is what you wish for? So this little boy wants to be a puppet, for real
..Dm C Bb.. Dm C G
Bb Dm C F Bb Dm C G
C Dadd11 D5
So I have the golden heart
C Dadd11 B D5
Now only needing the voice of the master
C G/B Dadd11 E
Never feel hunger, never grow older
C D5 B Am
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show
..Em C G/B Am Em G D/F#

(USE INTRO's CHORD SPELLINGS)
Am Am6 Am Dm Esus4 E Gm
It's so hard to remember my life.. The times before the show
Gm6 Gm Cm Dsus4 D Am
Can I ever cut off the strings? "Take a bow, now dance and sing..." (Sing!)
Am6 Am Dm Esus4 E Gm
Would you turn me to a child again? "No, never, I am your guide"
Gm6 Gm Cm
You can see a small grin on the face
F5 Dm G5 Em
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place
Am E G
Be careful what you wish for, wishes might come alive
(G) E Am
The twines are pulling me every day and night
(Am) E G
The show, the glitter and all the fame, I'd give away for a life
(G)
Some things can end with a word, they say
E Am
This only ends with a sharp knife (Knife!)
Bb Dm C Dm Bb Dm Gsus4 G
Bb Dm C Dm Bb C G E (Strum out on variations of Am..)
So many years ago, many more than I'd
Even care to bear in my mind
From the darkest of all places I found you
All the limbs in their right places
And a heart made of real gold
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind
Every night I returned to watch them
The master and the puppet in the show
He said: "Oh, no, I cannot sell him...
Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine"
Please, sell me your puppet, sir
Name your price, oh please,
Whatever you may ask,
Tenfold the price I pay
"Did I not make it clear?
This debate is over
I will never part from this puppet, my son..."
With hungry eyes I followed them all night
The blind master and the puppet he had made
"No, sir, to sell is not my will!"
The doll is mine, even if I have to kill...
So it shall be... if this is what it takes
"Greed is truly blinder than me..."
"Heart of gold is what you wish for?"
"So, this little boy... wants to be... a puppet, for real..."
So I have the golden heart
Now only needing the voice of the master
Never feel hunger, never grow older
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show
[SOLO]
It's so hard to remember my life
The times before the show
Can I ever cut off the strings?
"Take a bow, now dance and sing..." (Sing!)
Would you turn me to a child again?
"No, never, I am your Guide"
You can see a small grin on the face
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place
Be careful what you wish for
Wishes might come alive
The twines are pulling me every day and night...
The show, the glitter and all the fame
I'd give away for a life
Some things can end with a word, they say
This only ends with a sharp knife (Knife!)
