[Verse 1]
D#
She bled so hard during his birth
Fm
She was the middle child, the poet nurse
A#
To the union dying swayback horse
Ab
And the future of the universe
[Chorus]
D# Ab
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
A#m D#
When he was on the high wire
Dbmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
A#m D#
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
[Riff 1]

[Verse 2]
D#
She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
Fm
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
A#
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
Ab
And his modified American plan
[Chorus]
D# Ab
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
A#m D#
When he was on the high wire
Dbmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
A#m D#
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

Isn't there a peace we all been looking for
