[Verse]
Em Bm G D
She swam out of tonight' s phantasm
Em Bm G D Em Bm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
G D Em Bm G D
There' s absolutely nothing for us here
Em Bm
It' s a magnolia celebration
G D
To be attended on a Wednesday night
Em Bm
It' s better that than get a reputation
G D
As a miserable little tyke
Em Bm
At least that' s the conclusion
G D Em Bm G
She came to in this overture
Em G Bm
[Chorus]
Bm Em
The secret door swings behind us
Am
She' s saying nothing
G Bm
She' s just giggling along
[Verse]
Em Bm G D
Her arms were folded most indignant
Em Bm G D Em Bm
Not looking like she was soon to leave
G D Em Bm G D
I had to squint in order to believe
Em Bm
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
G D
And unveiling the unexpected
Em Bm G D
I who was earlier reluctant was suddenly embarrassed and corrected.
Em Bm G D Em Bm G
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat?
Em G Bm
[Chorus]
Bm Em
The secret door swings behind us
Am
She' s saying nothing
Em
She' s just giggling along
Bm Em
Even if they were to find us
Am Bm D
I wouldn' t notice, I' m completely occupied
[Outro]
G Cm
At all the fools on parade
Em Bm
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Am Bm
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
Am
But she' s never been the kind
D
To be hollowed by the stares
G Cm Em
Fools on parade frolic and fuck about
Bm Am Bm
To make a gaze turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
Am
That holds her absence
D
But you' re daft to think she' d care
G Cm Em Bm
Fools on parade
Am Bm Am D
Fools on parade
G Cm
Fools on parade
Em Bm Am Bm Am D
Conduct a sing-along
