Jewel - Long slow slide

^EmLights are brigh^Dt in the circus ^EmThe geeks and the freaks all lig^Dht cigarettes and laugh at your misery ^EmWhile the weight of the ^Dcurtain closing crushes your heart ^EmThe inertia of lonelines^Ds tears your flesh apart

^GIt's a long slow slide ^EmIt's a long slow slide ^AIt's a long slow slide ^DDown

^EmOnce the neon is gone ^DThere's still that golden splinter at your side ^EmHis manners are charming, but wh^Do are you fooling? You are still nobody's bride ^EmAnd Bukowski's widow hau^Dnts each empty seat on the ferris wheel ^EmAs ghoulish lovers colli^Dde in a collage of kisses that they steal

^GIt's a long slow slide ^EmIt's a long slow slide ^AIt's a long slow slide ^DDown

^EmAnd outside the window the circu^Ds crackles and lurches with rings of smoke ^EmYou laugh halfheartedly at the p^Dunchline, not realizing they've made you the joke ^EmAnd inside my heart a war is ^Draging in regions still untamed ^EmThe worst fear I can ima^Dgine is for the mystery to be named ^EmIs for the myste^Dry to be named

^GIt's a long slow slide ^EmIt's a long slow slide ^AIt's a long slow slide

^GIt's a long slow slide ^EmIt's a long slow slide ^AIt's a long slow slide ^DDown
