Mrs. Potters Lullabye

G

C

D

G

Well I woke in mid-afternoon cause that’s when it all hurts the most

G

C

D

G

I dream I never know anyone at the party and I’m always the host

Bm

C

G

If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts

D

C

G

You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast

G

C

D

G

well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame

G

C

D

G

I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame

Bm

C

G

If you’ve never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame

D

C

G

and though I’ll never forget your face, sometimes i can’t remember my name

Bm

C

G

D

Hey Mrs. Potter don’t cry

Bm

C

G

D

Hey Mrs. Potter I know why

Bm

C

G

D

C

C~B

G

Hey Mrs. Potter won’t you talk to me

G

C

D

G

Well, there’s a piece of Maria in every song that I sing

G

C

D

G

And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings

Bm

C

G

And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring

D

C

G

And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything

G

C

D

G

Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said

G

C

D

G

And the ghosts of the childer world will linger inside of your head

Bm

C

G

And the ferris wheel junkies will spin there forever instead

D

C

G

When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in my bed

Bm

C

G

D

Hey Mrs. Potter don’t go

Bm

C

G

D

I said hey Mrs. Potter I don’t know but

Bm

C

G

D

C

C~B

G

Hey Mrs. Potter won’t you talk to me

G

C

D

G

All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep

G

C

D

G

And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep

Bm

C

G

All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep

D

C

G

Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep

G

C

D

G

So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams

G

C

D

G

It’s just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream

Bm

C

G

Well, I know I don’t know you and you’re probably not what you seem

D

C

G

But I’d sure like to find out, so why don’t you climb down off that movie screen

Bm

C

G

D

Hey, Mrs. Potter, don’t turn

Bm

C

G

D

Hey, Mrs. Potter, I burn for you

Bm

C

G

D

C

C~B

G

Hey Mrs. Potter won’t you talk to me

G

C

D

G

When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor

G

D~F~

Em

D

Bm

and orders another, Well, I wonder what he did that for

Bm

C

G

That’s when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before

D

C

G

So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door

G

C

D

G

We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars

G

C

D

G

We stand up in the palace like it’s the last of the great pioneer town bars

Bm

C

G

We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars

D

C

G

You can see a million miles tonight But you can’t get very Far

D

C

G

Oh, you can see a million miles tonight But you can’t get very far

Bm

C

G

D

Hey Mrs. Potter I won’t touch

D

Hey Mrs. Potter it’s not much but
