INTRO: Am G C F Am G C F Am G
C
I followed far behind you
Em
To the edge of Tinseltown
F C
Where the [Carnival ?] is open
F Dm
And the curtains falling down
C
Took a seat in the front row
Em
You were there, up on the stage
F C
You were paying for their silver
F Dm Dm7 Dm Dm7
With your beauty and your rage
F C
I found you in the dressing room
F C
At peace with your disgrace
Am G C F
In the body of a messenger
Am G C F Am G
With Aphrodite's face
C
I reached out, but you ran away
Em
When I caught your glimpse of hell
F C
But I lost you in the alleyway
F Dm
Where no one knows you well
C
If the times were not so killing
Em
They'd lay flowers at your feet
F C
If the flesh were not so willing
F Dm
And the spirit not so weak
F C
They'd come to get your blessing
F C
When the gods hang up their [trace ?]
Am G C F
In the body of a messenger
Am G C F Am G C F Am G C
With Aphrodite's face
BRIDGE:
F Em
Imitation, worries skin deep
Dm Am
Imitation, go back to sleep
F Am
Love is so much deeper than this
Dm Am G C F Am G C F Am G
Hollow horn of emptiness
C
It's too soon to end your story
Em
It's too late to take it back
F C
And all that's been made holy
F Dm
Can never be made hack
C
I'll unlace my ties that bind you
Em
And my fingers from your hand
F C
Then I'll lose you 'til I find you
F Dm
From the woman in the man
F C
But your curse will be your blessing
F C
When the angel takes his place
Am G C F
In the body of a messenger
Am G C F Am G C
With Aphrodite's face
