B G F#m
Hello, you, how was the rest?
G B
You made it through, but nevertheless
B G F#m
I got you out on a wire.
G B
You be love and I�ll be a liar.
B G F#m
Tell it all and fill up the air,

Stop, turn, take a look around

At all the lights and sounds.

Pull the curtain down.

Make it new, but stay in the lines.
G B
Just let go, but keep it inside.
B G F#m
Smile big for everyone,
G B
Even when you know what they�ve done.
B G F#m
They gave you the end but not where to start;
G B
Not how to build, how to tear it apart.
B G F#m
So tell it all and fill up the air,
G F#m-B-A-G
But make it loud cause nobody�s there
F#m-B-A-G
And nobody�s there
F#m-B-A-G
And nobody�s there

I�ve got a way to work this out,
I�ve got a way and you know how. [x7]
[chorus]
D F#m

B
And painted faces frown.
