[Verso 1]
C Em
Spotlight simmers on the floor
Am7 A7
And falls on the ingénue, in powder blue
Dm
And I watch her from the wings
G7 C7 Dm G7
She parodies the spring, and wilts away
C Em
I'm dulled, I'm dancin' in the cold
Am7 A7 Dm
Like cattails in the wind, I bend, but I don't fold
G7 C7 Dm G7
I'm feeling old, and phantom-limbed, and gray
[Refrão]
C Em
But it's love, held with dirty hands
Am7
The lion and the lamb
A7
Everything's a sacrifice
Dm Dmmaj7
Whether you're smiling like a winner
G7 Em A7
Or cryin' like a clown, mmm
[Ponte]
D F#m
So, I'm leaving you with this
Bm7
Something you can miss
B7
A tear before the final bow

Is it everything you wanted

With roses on the ground? (Oh)
[Refrão]

'Cause it's love, held with lonely hands
C#m7
Kicked out of the band
C#7
Everything's a sacrifice
F#m F#mmaj7
Whether you're cryin' like a winner

Or clapping in the stands
