Em(maj7) Em Em(maj7)
Wander off in the rain

Come off smiling and dry

Legend, fortune, and fame
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) Em
I can be the stuff of headlines
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
Another household name

To be discarded with time

Til' your chance comes and you can make your next getaway

Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) x2
Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) Em
I must admit it's strange
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) Em
These visions of empty ballrooms
Em(maj7) Em7
And the sound of a sad refrain
Asus2/F# B Em
Like a smoke ring floating by
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) Em
But the omen already came
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) Em
In the form of a pear tree
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
That grows out of a cave
Asus/F# B
Into a crystal waterfall

Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) Em
And as a child I dreamed
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7) Em
That I was Geronimo
Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
And all the gifts I received
Asus2/F# B
Were from my enemies and all my friends alike
