Am                        Am 
Hear it when I crunch the leaves on the ground 
Am                     Dm 
Imagine it's me, once green soon brown 
Am                         E               Am 
And the wind will howl but I won't make no sound 

Am              Am 
After we pass through this circus 
Am              Dm 
After they have swept the floor 
Am                       E             Am 
It'll all go back to the way it was before 

Am                             
I keep myself distracted with the mirror pen 
Am                             Dm 
I store the words on paper instead of my head 
            Am 
It's like a cold glass of milk 
            E                    Am 
When me and my stomach ache are stuck in bed 

Am                                   
What if all the crazies are really sane 
Am                           Dm 
They see something that the rest of us can't 
Am 
And I'll never feel the pain 
E                  Am 
Of having to fade away 

Am              Am 
After we pass through this circus 
Am              Dm 
After they have swept the floor 
Am                       E             Am 
It'll all go back to the way it was before 

Dm                   Am 
I'm fine being by myself 
Am                     E 
Not wasting wishes on women 
E                            Am 
When I'm throwing pennies in the well 

Dm                   Am 
I'm fine being by myself 
                   E 
I still got my tongue, don't I? 
E              Am 
And a story to tell 

Am              Am 
After we pass through this circus 
Am              Dm 
After they have swept the floor 
Am                       E             Am 
It'll all go back to the way it was before 

Am              Am 
After we pass through this circus 
Am              Dm 
After they have swept the floor 
Am                       E             Am 
It'll all go back to the way it was before 

Am                       E             Am 
It'll all go back to the way it was before 
Am                       E             Am 
It'll all go back to the way it was before 
Am                       E             Am 
It'll all go back to the way it was before
