Tone: [Gm]
Intro:
[Bb] [Ebm]
[Bb]Fools on p[Ebm]parade cavort and carry on[Gm]on
For waiting [Dm]eyes
Ones you would [Cm]rather be beside than in [Dm]front of
But she's [Cm]never been the
kind to be [Dm]hollowed by the stares
Interlude -x4-:
[Gm] [Dm] [Bb] [F]
She [Gm]swam out [Dm]of toni[Bb]tonight's phant[F]phantasm
[Gm]Grabbed my [Dm]hand and ma[Bb]made it very cl[F]clear [Gm] [Dm]
There's [Bb]absolutely noth[F]nothing for us h[Gm]here [Dm] [Bb] [F]
It's a [Gm]magnolia cele[Dm]celebration
To be [Bb]attended on a Wednesday n[F]night
It's [Gm]better that than get a rep[Dm]reputation
As a [Bb]miserable little t[F]tyke
At l[Gm]least that's the conc[Dm]conclusion
She c[Bb]ame to in this o[F]vertu[Gm]re [Dm] [Bb]
Interlude:
[Gm] [Bb] [Dm]
[Dm]The secret door swings [Gm]behind us
She's saying [Cm]nothing
She's just [Bb]giggling a[Dm]along
Her [Gm]arms were [Dm]folded m[Bb]most indig[F]indignant
Not l[Gm]looking [Dm]like [Bb]she was s[F]oon to le[Gm]ave [Dm]
I [Bb]had to s[F]squint in order to b[Gm]believe [Dm] [Bb] [F]
And then [Gm]like a butler pushing on a booksh[Dm]bookshelf
And [Bb]unveiling the unexpe[F]unexpected
I [Gm]who was earlier re[Dm]reluctant was [Bb]
suddenly embarrassed and c[F]corrected.
[Gm]How could such a [Dm]creature s[Bb]
urvive in such a h[F]abit[Gm]at? [Dm] [Bb]
Interlude:
[Gm] [Bb] [Dm]
[Dm]The secret door swings be[Gm]behind us
She's saying [Cm]nothing
She's just [Gm]giggling along
Interlude:
[Gm] [Bb] [Dm]
[Dm]And even if they were to [Gm]find us
I wouldn't [Cm]notice, I'm [Dm]completely occu[F]occupied
At all the [Bb]fools on p[Ebm]parade
Cavort and [Gm]carry on for waiting [Dm]eyes
Ones you would [Cm]rather be beside than in [Dm]front of
But she's [Cm]never been the kind
To be [F]hollowed by the stares
[Bb]Fools on p[Ebm]parade frolic and xx[Gm]xxxx about
To make a [Dm]gaze turn to a s[Cm]scribble on
a page by a [Dm]picture
That holds her [Cm]absence
But you're daft to [F]think she'd care
[Bb]Fools on par[Ebm]parade [Gm] [Dm]
[Cm]Fools on pa[Dm]parade [Cm] [F]
[Bb]Fools on par[Ebm]parade
Conduct a s[Gm]sing-along [Dm] [Cm] [Dm] [Cm] [F]
