Your dreams would all come true C#

But I knew where to look Cm - Cm/B (Cm with bass of C - B)
To see through the disguise Eb/Bb - Cm6/A (Bb - A)
I could see the truth Ab - Bb
Behind the eyes Cm - Cm - Bb - Bb

You changed from day to day
Kept the people on their heels
Showed them what to see
Told them what to feel

You’re a scared and wounded little boy Cm - Cm/B (Cm with bass of C - B)
Made up of greasepaint and light Eb/Bb - Cm6/A (Bb - A)
Hoping no one notices Ab - Bb
The cracks in your disguise Cm - Bb

Through all your many changes
We came along with you
We followed you to the end
It’s what we had to do

You brought us so much joy
While wearing your disguise
Never showing
The truth behind the eyes
