Choose a fret
            Verse 1:
D                A#     D 
I never lie to myself tonight. 
D                          A#                D 
Rose-tinted eyes, color my sorrow a shade of wine. 
A   G   A#    A  A# 
Bye-bye black balloon. 
See you real soon. 
 
Chorus:
D5             C#5                 G5  A#5  C5 
Oh, why you so sad? What have they done? 
   D5                   C#5                      G5  A#5 C5 
Forget those mindless baboons, they’re off playing God. 
D5                C#5                  G5  A#5  C5 
Copycats in cheap suits are playing it safe, 
      D5               C#5              G5    A5 A#5 
While cannibals of bad news consume the parade. 
Is it wonderful? 
 
Bridge: D | A#  D 
        A  G  A#  A  A# | D 
 
Verse 2:
D             D                  A#                 D 
Far, far from shore, the land of nightmares gone forever more. 
    D                    A#       D 
And I love you more than I can control. 
A G     A# A   A# 
I don’t e--ven try. Why would I? 
 
Chorus:
D5               C#5                     G5  A#5  C5 
Oh, why the long face? You’ve got it all wrong. 
   D5                C#5                         G5  A#5  C5 
Forget the rat in the race, we’ll choke chain them all. 
D5              C#5               G5   A#5  C5 
Fates favor the ones who help themselves. 
    D5 ~~~        D5 ~~~       C#5 ~~~     G5   
The rest feel the sting of the lash as they row, 
A#5                C5    
the boat, the boat to  
D5 ~~~  D5 ~~~  C#5 ~~~ C#5 ~~~ 
Hell! 
 
Outro: G5  A#5  G5  A#5 }x3 
       G5  A#5  G5 ~~~
