Gypsy
     G#/C              C#              D#
Has eyes that hide the secrets no one sees
Easy
You smile until she brings you to your knees

B
Stick around till you get the truth
                                        G#
Taste blood when you get your proof, oh yeah
Find that you never understood
Give it all, but it's meant for good, oh yeah

        D# C#
And I know
      G#/C                C#                    D#
This life makes fools of wise men, thieves and kings, yeah
When we lose
We live our lives like puppets on a string

Close your eyes and you'll lose your soul
Do your time, but there's no parole from here
No chance when the end is near
Hear the words that you never thought you'd hear, yeah
Life whispers in your ear

Chorus:
D#                 G#
It's a long way down
D#                    G#
When ground starts coming
D#                 G#
I tried to tell you, but you would not listen
B                                       G#
It's a long way when you fall from the top, yeah

Build it all on a bed of lies
Standing tall until you realize you're here
Look away, but you can't pretend
Gonna pray for a way when the end is near
Life whispers in your ear

Chorus:
It's a long way down
When ground starts coming
I tried to tell you, but you would not listen
It's a long way, such a long, long way

It's a long way down
When the ground starts coming
I tried to tell you, but you would not listen
It's a long way, such a long, long way

A long way down
A long way down
When you fall from the top
