Bm A Bm A
I'm feeling this time as bad as never before
G Bm F#m
B bleeding wag is fading away
Bm A Bm A
Once you needed me for spending delight
G Bm F#m
But below this funny mask there's a crying face
D A Bm
The way that I smile is the way that I cry
A G D A
But you'll never realize
D A Bm
My reputation is the one of a fool
A G
Now watch how a poet dies
A
Hear his cries
Bm G A D A
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Em C D G A
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
Bm G A D A
The reason we need a light for the lonesome
Em C D G A Bm
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
The poet inside wasn't given a chance
So he had to live apart
And I realize my best friend am I
And not those parasites who try to stare
Into my heart
The way that I feel is the way that I heal
My body and soul and my life
And I know you just think I'm a fool
Now watch how a poet flies
See me rise
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
The reason we need a light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
