Once Upon A Playground Rainy by Poets of the Fall
Once Upon A Playground Rainy
[Intro]
G#m E F# C# E B F# C#
[Verse 1]
G#m E F#
Hello old lovers of mine
C# E
My little boy wishes
B F#
Of fortune's kisses
C# G#m
Now dreams cast aside
E F#
In the fading light
C# E
Your crown of thorns
B F#
Becomes a halo
C# G#m
Of branching horns
E F# C# E
And yet so beautiful
B F#
[Chorus]
C# G#m
I see you gently swaying
E F#
In a sea of seesaws
E
Slumming in the shack
B F#
Tony built last year
G#m
I know you'll be holding
E F#
Court with jackdaws
E
Crying when nobody
B F#
Ever sees your tears
C# G#m
When no one sees your tears
E F# C# E B F# C#
G#m E F# C# E B F# C#
[Verse 2]
G#m E F#
What used to fly us from here
C# E
To the stratosphere?
B F#
What became of our passion
C# G#m
Is there no one who cares?
E F#
Hear the soft minor key
C# E
Of the one-time me
B F#
Still the acrobat
C# G#m
With my heart on my sleeve
E F# C# E
And it's so beautiful
B F#
[Chorus]
C# G#m
I see you gently swaying
E F#
In a sea of seesaws
E
Slumming in the shack
B F#
Tony built last year
G#m
I know you'll be holding
E F#
Court with jackdaws
E
Crying when nobody
B F#
Ever sees your tears
C# G#m
When no one sees your tears
[Coda]
C#
Out back
C#
When the gates are closed
F# (9 fret)
Like a pitiful skeleton pose
C#
We held our first line of defense
C#
Saw our likeness
F# (9 fret)
And it made no sense
C#
Toy soldiers in the muck and dirt
F# (9 fret)
Salvation in your every word
C#
Lost in the fray of everyday
[Chorus]
C# G#m
I see you gently swaying
E F#
In a sea of seesaws
E
Slumming in the shack
B F#
Tony built last year
G#m
I know you'll be holding
E F#
Court with jackdaws
E
Crying when nobody
B F#
Ever sees your tears
C# G#m
When no one sees your tears
[Outro]
G#m E F#
You're still fighting, I see
C# E
Like a modern day Bruce Lee
B F# C#
Standing proud in this parody
