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