Dm Dsus2  Dm   Dm7  Bb 
Is my     life a    curtain call, 
     Bdim                Bb          Bb 
Or a cane that yearns to yank me off? 
Dm  Dsus2  Dm Dm7  Bb 
Am  I      worthy  of applause? 
  Bdim        Bb          Bb  Bb 
Tomato shades  parade my jaw.

I'm afraid this game we play, 
     Bb      Bb     Bb        Bb 
Will kill me if  I  leave its ways, 
Dm       Dm      Dm        Dm 
Curtains crafted to create, 
  Bb     Bb        Bb       Bb 
A veil between the bite and bait, 
Dm     Dm     Dm          Dm 
I have sat on many planes, 
  Bb         Bb       Bb    Bb 
Observed the way they are arranged, 
Dm     Dm     Dm            Dm 
If you get to Heaven's gate, 
Bb      Bb      Bb       Bb     Dm 
Don't expect to pay your way. 
 

 
Dm Dsus2 Dm   Dm7  Bb 
Castles  near and  dear to kings, 
     Bdim             Bb          Bb 
Will not survive what fire brings, 
  Dm   Dsus2  Dm    Dm7     Bb 
I know I'm    young but I'm not naïve, 
    Bdim               Bb          Bb 
The kings will survive everything. 
 

 
Dm   Dm         Dm      Dm 
I'm afraid this game we play, 
     Bb      Bb   Bb   Bb 
Will kill me even if I stay, 
Dm        Dm       Dm           Dm 
Play this game for paper's sake, 
Bb      Bb      Bb     Bb 
Just to have my name erased.

You're not the savior, 
C      C 
I have paid for, 
F          F 
Wronged my wallet, 
F       F 
Just to know more, 
C          C 
I paid for language, 
C       C 
And the wages, 
F          F 
Stayed the same, 
   F           F 
As when you're frameless, 
       C       C 
You're not the savior, 
C      C        F 
I have paid for now, 
       F       F 
You're not the savior now, 
       F6      F6     F 
You're not the savior now.
