Intro: Em11 D Em11 D
Verse 1: Palm-muting while strumming
Em11 D
The lights are bright in the circus
Em11
The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes,
D
And laugh at your misery
Em11 D
While the weight of the curtain closing crushes your heart
Em11 D
The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart
CHORUS:
Gadd9
It's a long slow slide
Em11
It's a long slow slide
Aadd4 D*
It's a long slow slide...down
Verse 2:
Em11
Once the neon is gone
D
There's still that golden splinter at your side
Em11
His manners are charming, but who are you fooling -
D
You are still nobody's bride
Em11 D
And Bukowski's widow haunts each
(D)
Empty seat on the Ferris wheel
Em11
As ghoulish lovers collide
D
In a collage of kisses that they steal
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge: D5 DMaj9 Bm7 (2X)
D5 Dadd2 D@9 D5 DMaj9 Bm7
Verse 3:
Em11
And outside the window
D
The circus crackles and lurches with rings of smoke
Em11
You laugh half-heartedly at the punch line
D
Not realizing they've made you the joke
Em11 D
Inside my heart a war is raging in regions still untamed
Em11 D
The worst fear I can imagine is for the mystery to be named
Em11 D
Is for the mystery to be named
LAST CHORUS:
Gadd9
It's a long slow slide
Em11
It's a long slow slide
Aadd4
It's a long slow slide...
Gadd9
It's a long slow slide
Em11
It's a long slow slide
Aadd4 D*
It's a long slow slide...down
