A#m G# A#m G#
I'm feeling this time as bad as never before
F# A#m Fm
A# bleeding wag is fading away
A#m G# A#m G#
Once you needed me for spending delight
F# A#m Fm
But below this funny mask there's a crying face
C# G# A#m
The way that I smile is the way that I cry
G# F# C# G#
But you'll never realize
C# G# A#m
My reputation is the one of a fool
G# F#
Now watch how a poet dies
G#
Hear his cries
A#m F# G# C# G#
And I dedicate my roses to no one
D#m B C# F# G#
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
A#m F# G# C# G#
The reason we need a light for the lonesome
D#m B C# F# G# A#m
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
