Parade
Verse 1
Em C G D
When the slow parade went past
Em C G D
When it felt so good you knew it couldn''t last
Em C G D
And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
Em C G D
And you''d have to just go home
Verse 2
Em C G D
And the way it all went by
Em C G D
And somebody said "come on its getting late"
Em C G D
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
Em C G D
And now you wish that you had stayed
Pre-Chorus
Em C G D
And there''s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
Em C G D Em
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Chorus
C
Oh no
G D Em
There''s so much more that you need to work out
C
Oh no
G D
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
Verse 3
Em C G D
And the days are all the same
Em C G D
And the town so big and no one knows your name
Em C G
And the people fade away
D
And all stars are just a flicker
Em C G D
And you''re left there all alone
Pre-Chorus
Em C G D
And there''s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
Em C G D Em
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Chorus
C
Oh no
G D Em
There''s so much more that you need to work out
C
Oh no
G D
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
Em C G
When the music''s over

But the song stays in your head

version 2
A few notes:
Verse 1 - you can just pluck these since the drums don''t begin until Verse 2. If playing alone that''s a good
way to have a similar effect.
Pre Chorus - I play that Em with just the 2nd fret on the D string. It sounds more like the song that way.
Intro - Single notes only

Lyrics
Verse 1
When the slow parade went past
When it felt so good you knew it couldn''t last
And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
And you''d have to just go home
Verse 2
And the way it all went by
And somebody said "come on its getting late"
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed
Bridge
And there''s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Chorus
Oh no
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
Verse 3
And the days are all the same
And the town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all stars are just a flicker
And you''re left there all alone
Bridge
When there''s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Chorus
Oh no
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
When the music''s over
But the song stays in your head
Solo
Chorus
Oh no
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
Yeah
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Yeah
You don''t want that parade to leave you now

When the slow parade went past
When it felt so good you knew it couldn''t last
And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
And you''d have to just go home
And the way it all went by
And somebody said "come on its getting late"
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
And now you wish that you had stayed
And there''s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Oh no
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
And the days are all the same
And the town so big and no one knows your name
And the people fade away
And all stars are just a flicker
And you''re left there all alone
When there''s so much more that you could see if you just stick around
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Oh no
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
When the music''s over
But the song stays in your head
Oh no
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Oh no
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
Yeah
There''s so much more that you need to work out
Yeah
You don''t want that parade to leave you now
