G Well I woke up in mid-afternoon
cause that's when it Cadd9 all hurts the Dsus4 most

Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
And though I'll never forget your face,
Sometimes I can't remember my name
GHey, MrsDsus4 PotterCadd9, don't cryDsus4
Hey, Mrs Potter I don't know why but
Hey, Mrs Potter won't you talk to me

Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything

All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep

So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
Aw, but I'd sure like to find out
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen
GHey, MrsDsus4 PotterCadd9, don't turnDsus4

Hey, Mrs Potter won't you talk to me

When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
And orders another. well, I wonder what he did that for
That's when I know that I have to get out cause
I have been there before
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door. Yeah.

We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
We stand up in the Palace,
Like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
Aw, we shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
Well, you can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Aw, you can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
GHey, MrsDsus4 PotterCadd9, I won't touch and Dsus4
Hey, Mrs. Potter, it's not much but
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
