I used to live but now I survive

The circus is gone, it's all packed away

The clown's hat, the makeup's been packed in his case
(Chorus)

So we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
C C9 C C9 G
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns

The stars that we reached for left us with nothing but dawn

For all of my hopes, my heartaches and fears

For a night I just watched and you walked out of here

When innocence sang his last song

He'd tell me that it's all gone
F G
Just look me in the eyes and say man, nothing at all
