[Verse 1]
D
She bled so hard during his birth
Em
She was the middle child, the poet nurse
A
To the union dying swayback horse
G
And the future of the universe
[Chorus]
D G
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Am D
When he was on the high wire
Cmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Am D
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
[Riff 1]
Em
[Verse 2]
D
She found her son's heart that lives in a lucky unlucky man
Em
To the strangers chest she holds her hand
A
He getting lost in the ceiling fan
G
And his modified American plan
[Chorus]
D G
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Am D
When he was on the high wire
Cmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Am D
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide

The outcast, is digging in the yard
Em Eb F
He found the mast of the Scottish second guard
Am F
But wait, when he found the Van Gogh
Dm D G B
But no one lent an ear
[Chorus]
G D G
Can we get the king to catch the cannonball
Am D
When he was on the high wire
Cmaj7
And the queen was on the trapeze, hanging from her knees
Am D
She could see revolution in the nose bleeds with a smile a mile wide
G D G
Isn't there a peace we all been looking for
Am D
Day and night Far and wide
Cmaj7
Don't everybody got to just grab hold, lock souls
Am D
All rising and prizing on the high tide
