[intro]
G F C
[verse]
C G F C
when the bandits have stolen your jewellery and gone
F C
and your crippled young gypsy has grown tall and strong
F G F C
and your dead misconceptions have proven you wrong
C F G
well then, Princess, where you planning to turn to?
[verse 2]
C G F C
when your magazine memory has spun you around
F C
and you realise your lovers were just painted clowns
F G F C
and outside your window you start hearing sounds
C F G
where they're building a cross for to burn you
[chorus]
F G C F
when all your bright scarlet turns slowly to blue
G F C
will you stop and decide that it's over?
[verse 3]
C G F C
when your tear drops go sour and no longer fall
F C
to splash cross the virgin that lives down the hall
F G F C
and spends all her nights with an ear to your wall
C F G
well then, what will you have you can offer?
[verse 4]
C G F C
when the fire dancers finish and leave you alone
F C
with nothing but embers and sacks full of stone
F G F C
that hang 'round your neck slicing through to the bone
C F G
will there be a place for your laughter?
[chorus]
F G C F
when all your bright scarlet turns slowly to blue
G F C
will you stop and decide that it's over?
[verse 5]
C G F C
when your shattered illusions come a-tumbling home
F C
and all of your butchers you've nourished have grown
F G F C
and they're suddenly able to leave you alone
C F G
and they run like slaves that are set free
[verse 6]
C G F C
when your questions are answered and your pleading is done
F C
and your mind starts a-screaming that you ain't the one
F G F C
that once dwelled within you, will you turn? will you run?
C F G
But, Princess, will you come home and get me?
[chorus]
F G C F
when all your bright scarlet turns slowly to blue
G F C
will you stop and decide that it's over?
