Ebm Ebm 
 
Fools on parade cavort,
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
and carry on for waiting eyes
Cm Cm 
 
That you would rather be beside,
Dm Dm 
 
than in front of
Cm Cm 
 
But she's never been the kind,

to be hollowed by the stares

Verse 2
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
She swam out of  tonight's phantasm
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
There's absolutely nothing,
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
for us  here
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
It's a magnolia celebration
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
to be attended on a Wednesday night
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
It's better than to get a  reputation,
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
as a miserable little tyke
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
At least that's the conclusion
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm

Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb

Chorus 1

Dm

Gm

And the secret door swings behind us

Cm

She's saying nothing,

Bb

A

she's just giggling along

Verse 3
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Her arms were folded most indignant
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Not looking like she was soon to leave
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Gm Gm 
 
I had to squint in order to believe
Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Gm Gm 
 
And then like a butler,
Dm Dm 
 
pushing on a bookshelf
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
I'm unveiling the unexpected
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
I,  who was earlier reluctant
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Was suddenly  embarrassed and corrected
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
How could such a creature,
Bb Bb 
 
Dm Dm 
 
survive in such a habitat?
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Bb Bb 
 
Gm Gm

Chorus 2
Dm Dm 
 
Gm Gm 
 
And the secret door swings behind us
Cm Cm 
 
She's saying nothing,
Gm Gm 
 
she's just giggling along
Dm Dm 
 
Gm Gm 
 
Even if they were to find us
Cm Cm 
 
I wouldn’t no  tice,
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
I'm completely occupied

Bridge 1
Bb Bb 
 
Ebm Ebm 
 
As all the fools on parade,
Gm Gm 
 
Dm Dm 
 
cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Cm Cm 
 
Ones you would rather be beside,
Dm Dm 
 
than in front of
Cm Cm 
 
But she's never been the kind,
F F 
 
to be hollowed by the stares
Bb Bb 
 
Ebm Ebm 
 
Fools on parade,
Gm Gm 
 
frolic and fuck about,
Dm Dm 
 
to make her gaze
Cm Cm 
 
Turn to a scribble on a page,
Dm Dm 
 
Cm Cm 
 
by a picture that holds her absence
F F 
 
But you're daft to think she'd care
