A            Bm     F        F#m
Sometimes an empire doesn't fall
A            Bm     F        F#m
As masked invaders climb the walls
Bm           D      F#m
Or spreading fires or rising floods
Bm           F#m     D       A
Sometimes it dies within
A            Bm     F        F#m
The king and queen, they go to bed
A            Bm     F        F#m
On years of quiet neglect
Bm           D      F#m
To find the coffers bare but with
Bm           F#m     D       A
The musk of arrogance
Bm           F#m     D       A
The musk of arrogance

A                             
With me, you're making the same 
  E          F#m    D
mistakes I made
A                               E
With you I couldn't convey I felt
          F#m    D
 the same

It's true, we're marionettes, But we

 pull the strings
A           E         F#m       
        And here as we dance, we 
D
tangle
A           E         F#m       
        I'm spinning you round and 
D
closer we're wound
A           E         F#m       Dm
We're marionettes, We're marionettes

A            Bm     F        F#m
There's comfort in a holding hand
A            Bm     F        F#m
A schedule on which you depend
Bm           D      F#m
A cage in which you're snugly penned
Bm           F#m     D       A
That's what we have become
A            Bm     F        F#m
A cyclone in a glass of wine
A            Bm     F        F#m
We both have wishbones for a spine.
Bm           D      F#m
But how long will we play this 
record's tattered side
Bm           F#m     D       A
Afraid to change the song?
Bm           F#m     D       A
