Marionettes

A            Bm     F        F#m   2x

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

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

A            Bm     F        F#m   2x

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
