This is a really nice song to strum along to on the acoustic guitar so here are the chords:





Cm                    Fm

Fiendish wonder in a carnivals wake,

Cm                  Fm

Dull caresses once again irritate

Cm                             

Tread softly stranger,

     Fm                              Cm       Fm

Move over toward the danger that you seek



You think excitement has receded,

Then the mirror distracts

The logic of the trance quickly reaches and grasps

Handsome and faceless

And weightless your imagination runs



             G#                   Cm

And now it’s no one’s fault but yours

       G                      Cm

At the foot of the house of cards,

                  G#           Cm

You thought you’d never get obsessed

                G                  Cm

You thought the wolves would be impressed,

             G#       Cm

And you’re a sinking stone

             G                                    Cm

Cos you know what it’s like to hold the jeweller’s hands,

         G#            G          Cm

That procession of pioneers, all drowned



In the moonlight they’re more thrilling,

Those things that he knows

As he leads you through the grinning, buddled, blowers in the snow,

Watching his exit is like falling off the ferry in the night

Inevitable’s gather to push you around,

Any old voice makes such a punishing sound

He became laughter’s assassin,

Shortly after he showed you what it was



And now it’s no one’s fault but yours

At the foot of the house of cards,

You thought you’d never get obsessed

You thought the wolves would be impressed,

And you’re a sinking stone

Cos you know what it’s like to hold the jeweller’s hands,

That procession of pioneers, all drowned



Cm                     G#

If you’ve a lesson to teach me,

Fm                        Cm

I’m listening, ready to learn

Cm                       G#

There’s no one here to police me,

Fm                        Cm

I’m sinking in, until you return

If you’ve a lesson to teach me,

Don’t deviate, don’t be afraid

Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,

Let’s get it ingrained
