F C Am Am G Am Am [Verse]
C F Am Box office lady is calling me out
F C G Yeah and I won't know what to do with my mouth
Am F Every salty kiss, you brave in the streetlight
C G C Oh and Mercury's against me, she's winning tonight Am G D/F# x2
C F Am Now they're combing for pennies in the old cobblestones
F C G Those carnival kids, man they never go home
Am F They're tossing and turning and dodging the stones
C G C Oh and Mercury's missing me just by a throw

[Chorus]
Am F C G Yeah and alright, okay, now I know
Am F C G Here in the hems the hand that rolls the bones
Am G C E Oh and the fortune lady's the only one who knows Am G D/F# x2
Am G F C Am G F [Verse]
C F Am Well out there on the wire there's something to save
F C G And hope is a word man it never could be
Am F Oh we're fumbling for fiction or something to take
C G C Yeah and Mercury's smiling, but I know she's a fake [Chorus]
Am F C G Yeah and alright, okay, now I see
Am F C G Here in the hems of the hand that built the beach
Am F C G Oh and the fortune lady's the only one
Am G C E Yeah the fortune lady's the only one who sees [Verse]
C F Am And old madam haggard is cleaning the clocks
F C G While the paperboy's combing his nickels for rocks
Am F Coyote's in the car with the motor running loud
C G C Yeah the stars were all hiding when Mercury's out
