The Comedians(Chords)

	        

Intro: A

 Verse: 1 

   A           E            A 
 I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel  
   A                              D 
 a pastel colored carriage in the air  
   Bm                     F#7            Bm 
 I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while  
   Bm            Bm7           E 
 a silly twist upon a childish dare  

Verse: 2 

   A             E               A 
 Below I saw you whispering to another man  
     A                                  D 
 who held the lever that could bring me down  
      Bm                  F#7        Bm 
 he'd stop the world from turning at your command  
      Bm               Bm7                 E 
 it's always something cruel that laughter drowns  



     E                A       
 and I'm up while the dawn is breaking  
 A7             D 
 even though my heart is aching  
                        D#dim7 
 I should be drinking a toast  
           E 
 to absent friends  
            Fdim7       A  E   
 instead of these comedians

  
 F#m  C#7  D  A  G  D/F#  E  A  

    Verse: 3 

       A               E              A 
 I can hardly hear the music from the carousel  
     A                                  D 
 the wind picks up, the carriage starts sway  
    F#m            C#                 F#m 
 as one by one the lights go out it's closing time  
   E                                          A 
 I see you take his hand and walk away, walk away  
 E  F#m  C#7  D  A  G  D/F#  E  A 

   Verse: 4 
  
      A                 E             A 
 They say that you will always be the last to know  
      A                                 D 
 they say that all that glitters is not gold  
      F#m                  C#           F#m 
 it's not just that you're never coming back to me  
 E 
 it's the bitter way that I was told  

 


     A                D 
 and I'm up while the dawn is breaking  
 D7             G 
 even though my heart is aching  
                        G#dim7 
 I should be drinking a toast  
           A 
 to absent friends  
            A7          D 
 instead of these comedians
