INTRO: Am C G (x5)

VERSE 1:

Am C G

The marionette has your number

Am C G

It pullin your arms and legs till you can't stand on your own

Am C G

Dragging your conscience on the stage and you heart gets rearranged

Am C G

And you cannot tell your mentor from your maker

Am C G

Look at the crowds bleeding with laughter

Am C G

Over the way you entertain at beckon call

Am C G

They don't see behind the lights or the painted background

Am C G

They just like to see you fall

CHORUS:

C Am C G

But you don't really mind

C Am C G

Cause you're just wasting time

C Am C G

You can't feel anything

C Am C G

Just a boy on a string

VERSE 2:

Am C G

I feel a sadness like Gapetto

Am C G

Watching the life that he created run away,

Am C G

Seeing the puppeteer's intrusion and holding the remains

Am C G

Of puppets that had rotted away

Am C G

One day the curtain will not open

Am C G

And all of the crowds will go away

Am C G

Someday those strings will choke you

Am C G

But until that day

CHORUS
