G#           D#
This is the first scene
G#    Cm
of an act With my
C#             C/E
own hand stuck in my back
G#              C
Around here the puppet
                C#
is the puppeteer
           C
And I was down for
                Fm
the proverbial count
    C#          D#
So what do you want from me?
Fm       C#         D#
Another song about apathy?
D#   C/E
Heartbreak is a
F
friend these days
      A#m
But I couldn't
care less
 C
That's what I've
been paid to say

Chorus:
Fm C#      G#
I  am lost a lot but you
C#
can't believe me
Fm  C#         G#
And my stomach knots
    C#         C
but you can't see that
Fm   G# C#         C       Fm
  Whoa    I can't find my way
   G# C#         C
Whoa    I can't find it
       A#m
Should I say something
sensational now?
     C#   G#/C
This life comes
A#m  C/E
with some doubts

And now my life has become a circus
In the center ring, I'm a crying clown
It's a little too exciting on the trapeze
When you swing with your eyes closed to the ground
And pain can feel like a boomerang
You close your eyes it comes back again
Heartbreak is a trend these days
I couldn't care less
I've never been that trendy anyway

Chorus

       C#   G#
We all run along thinking
Cm            Fm
everything is wrong
C#        Cm           Fm
Watch our lives from a bar
C#      G#      Cm     Fm
Looking back is not so bad
C#           Cm
Realize what you've been missing

Gm  A# D#         D
  Whoa   I can't find my way
Gm  A# D#         D
  Whoa   I can't find my way
Gm  A# D#         D
  Whoa   I can't find my way
Gm  A# D#         D
  Whoa   I can't find my way
