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