The Last Freak At The Carnival Chords & Lyrics - The Facades

[INTRO]
[C#m] They call me the [G#]dreamer of lies
[C#m]Cause that's [B]what I [F#m]do
[C#m] They call me the [E]singer of truths
[E]That ain't [F#m]always [G#]true
And [A]I, I never [C#m]knew [B]
That my [F#m]time was running [G#]out
The [A]bright lights of the [E]big top
And the [C#m]rafters, to which I'd s[G#]hout
"I'm the [E]last freak of the [G#]carnival for to[C#m]night."

[VERSE 1]
[C#m] I'm a dying breed of
[E]being made of frenzied fools and
[A]Faith, in a world we can't
Be[F#m]lieve no [G#]more
[C#m] Can't take my eyes off what I'm
[A]Seeing when the [F#m]tent is coming
[G#m]Down, the circus leaving
[D]Town once [G#7]more

[PRE-CHORUS]
[F#m7] I don't know why you
[E]Do this to [C#m]me
You're a [G#m7]brand new line in an older
[Amaj7]Story
[B] The myth of the
[F#m]Wreckage of a consecrated
[A]Man, sidelined from
[G#7]Glory (Oh glory!)

[CHORUS]
[C#m] Don't think I'll ever get out of here alive
[A] I can't escape my fate tonight
[E] Last dance in the
[G#m]Ring (you swore you'd [B]never let him free)
[C#m] The lion's cage has broken bars
[A] The clowns are crashing in their cars
[E]I just sweep and sing, the
[G#]Last freak at the carnival again [C#m]

[VERSE 2]
[C#m] When the clowns have left the stage
[E] From their long-forgotten
[A]Age, I look back at their antics and I
[F#m]Laugh until I [G#]choke
[C#m] When the ringmaster
[A]Takes his final [F#m]bow, and I
[G#m]Sweep up all the sparkles like a
[E]Final parting [G#7]joke

[PRE-CHORUS]
[F#m7] I'll spin the web
A[E]round our [C#m]lives
With the [G#m7]passion that the others can't
[Amaj7]Hold a candle to
[B] Watch me
[F#m]Run through all the energy of
[A]Youth and make the sparks fly like
[G#7]Crazy, cause I know

[CHORUS]
[C#m] Don't think I'll ever get out of here alive
[A] I can't escape my fate tonight
[E] Last dance in the
[G#m]Ring (you swore you'd [B]never let him free)
[C#m] The lion's cage has broken bars
[A] The clowns are crashing in their cars
[E]I just sweep and sing, the
[G#]Last freak at the carnival again [C#m]

[Choral breakdown, repeat twice]
[C#m]
[A]
[E]
[G#m] [B]
[C#m]
[A]
[E]
[G#]

[CHORUS]
[C#m] Don't think I'll ever get out of here alive
[A] I can't escape my fate tonight
[E] Last dance in the
[G#m]Ring (you swore you'd [B]never let him free)
[C#m] The lion's cage has broken bars
[A] The clowns are crashing in their cars
[E]I just sweep and sing, the
[G#]Last freak at the carnival again [C#m]
