Mrs. Potters Lullabye

Intro: G

G                               C                  D            G       
Well I woke in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most 
G                                     C           D         G
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host 
     Bm                            C                       G
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts 
        D                       C                       G
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
 
G                               C           D           G      
well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame 
G                               C           D           G       
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame 
        Bm                         C                            G       
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame
 
                D               
and though I'll never forget your face, 
C                               G       
sometimes i can't remember my name
 
Bm   C    G     D
Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
Bm   C    G     D  C   C/B       G
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me 

G                                    C  D          G
Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing 
G                               C               D       G
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings 
                Bm                      C                             G
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to 
ring 
        D                               C               G
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
 
G                                   C           D               G       
Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said 
G                       C               D                       G      
And the ghosts of the childer world will linger inside your head 
        Bm                        C                     G
And the ferris wheel junkies will spin there forever instead 
        D                     C                 G       
When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in my bed
 
Bm   C    G      D
Hey Mrs. Potter don't go 
Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but 
Bm  C   G    D    C  C/B        G
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me 

G                                    C          D           G
All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep 
G                                   C           D         G
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep 
Bm                              C                    G          
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep 
        D                               C                         G     
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep
 
G                               C       D               G       
So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams 
G                                       C            D             G   
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream 
        Bm                                 C                    G
Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem 
        D
But I'd sure like to find out 
                C                             G
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen
 
Bm  C     G       D
Hey Mrs. Potter don't turn 
Hey Mrs. Potter I burn for you 
Bm  C     G    D   C    C/B     G
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me 

G                               C               D             G
When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor 
        G       D/F#
and orders another 
        Em              D       Bm
Well, I wonder what he did that for 
                Bm                              C                  G    
That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there 
before 
        D                     C                         G       
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door
 
G                                  C            D               G       
We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars 
G                                       C               D               G    
We stand up in the palace like it's the last of the great pioneer town 
bars 
  Bm                                    C                  G
We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars 
        D                               C                   G
You can see a million miles tonight But you can't get very far 
            D                               C                  G       
Oh, you can see a million miles tonight But you can't get very far
 
Bm   C  G       D
Hey Mrs. Potter I won't touch 
Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but 
Bm   C   G   D   C   C/B        G
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
