[Em]

[Verse 1]
[G]Tied a rope and a [Em]blinding light
[G]I heard them laughing
at the [Em]hippodrome[G]
No hope in a [Em]broken [G]room
I couldn't feel which [Em]way was [G]wrong
[D]I didn't hear,
but I [C]knew what they were shouting
[G]Only [D]a fool would fall in l[C]ove with you
[G]They kept on [D]clapping lou[C]der and louder
[G]Tied a rope and the [Em]balance gone
[G]Spread my arms into the [Em]empty [G]air
No strength now, the [Em]man alone
Com[G]ing in on a [Em]wing and a pray[G]er
[D]Only a fool would [C]do what I did for [G]you
Only [D]a fool would c[C]are
[G]They kept [D]on cheering
[C]louder and louder and louder and louder and [Cm]louder and [C]louder,
[F]louder[Em][D][Em][C][Am][G][C][D]
[G][Em][G][Em]
[G]Tied a rope and the man[Em] is down
[G]The crowd was heavy
for the [Em]exit [G]sign
Tied a rope and the [Em]man is down
[G]You've been slipping all alo[Em]ng the line
[G]Only [D]a fool would do [C]what I did for you[G]
[D]Only a fool would [C]care
[G]They kept [D]on laughing
[C]Louder and louder and louder and louder
oh, [Cm]oh, [C]oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, [Cm]oh.[C][F][G]
Tied ropes and the [Em]balance gone,
[G]oh yea[Em]h.
[G]Tired of ropes, and the ban[Em]d is dow[G]n[D]
[G]Tired of ropes,
and the [Em]band is [G]gone[Em][G][Em]
[G]Tired of ropes,
and the [Em]band is [G]down[D]
Tired of rollin' and I'm blinded for more
I heard them laughin' at the hepatron
[G]No hope, and I'm broken no more
I couldn't feel which way was home
