Standard (EADGBE)

Sad as a painted clown, a beautiful boy in an ugly town

 but when your circus closes down don't walk away from me

you've been asleep too long, the birds are bruises in the dawn

 the pounds of flesh between us stretch as far as you can see

Muted

But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow

 you could see what it means to be making the scene with me

Muted

But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried

 you could find a little time

 for the life I can see in your eyes, don't go. Don't go.

Sometimes you just explode and no one alive can break your code

You have a language of your own, an unconnected road

The people you called your friends, the places you won't go again

 The decades lost in finding them, you'll have to let them go.

Muted

But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow

 you could see what it means to be making the scene with me

Muted

But all you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried

 you could find a little time

 for the life I can see in your eyes, don't go. Don't go.
