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