[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][Em][F]
[C][D][G][D][G][Em]
[F][C][D]
[Em]This slab of stone

[Verse 1]
[G]
[Em]Stares at [G]me
[D]So [Em]seriously [G]and yet[D] I'm
[Em]Laugh[G]ing[D]
The grass was soft
And so I sat and painted what
I'd been looking [Em]at
Now starring [G]in [Em]the [G]tragedy
[Em]Playing twice a [G]day since its [Em]opening[G]
[D]If movements we made fascinating
Hide our hearts incin[Em]erating
The final [G]days[D]
[Em]Whose book of [G]lust?[D]
[Em]Who found [G]sin when t[D]hey were
look[Em]ing for [G]fun[Em]
The visions [G]of[D]
[G]Your [Em]violet eyes[G]
So [Em]haunted and [G]yet [D]I'm
[Em]not [G]afraid[D]

[Verse 2]
Though I feel so weak I must remain
[Em]On the stage of my[G]
tragic [D]vaudeville
[Em]Love come quickly don't [G]fade [D]away
[Em]On the stage of my[G]
tragic [D]vaudeville
[Em]Madness is the cure as we [G]fade to gray

[D][Em][F][C][D]
[G][D][G][Em][F][C][D]
[Em]This slab of stone

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Em]Stares at [G]me
[D]So [Em]seriously [G]and yet[D] I'm Lau[Em]ghing[G][D]
A face whose name I can't replace
Steps I can't [Em]retrace
Now [G]starring in [Em]the [G]tragedy
[D]Pla[Em]ying every nigh[G]t
since its [Em]opening[G][D]
And on stage the violence, greed

[Verse 4]
My obsessive roots drink deep
[Em]On the stage of my[G] tragic va[D]udeville
[Em]Love come quickly don't [G]fade [D]away
[Em]On the stage of my[G]
tragic [D]vaudeville
[Em]Mad ness is the cure as we f[G]ade to gray
