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