( guitar 1 )
 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 
and though I'll never forget your face,
 C                                                             G 
sometimes i can't remember my name
 Bm     C       G         D 
Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
 Bm     C       G         D   C     C/B             G 
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
(fill 5)
 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 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
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
(fill 7 )
 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 
But I'd sure like to find out
                                 C                                                         G 
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen
 Bm   C         G             D 
Hey Mrs. Potter don't turn
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# 
and orders another
                 Em                           D             Bm 
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
Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but
 Bm     C     G     D     C     C/B               G 
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
