Paint And Pageantry

A D A E A D A E A D Tapping on your window to A E wake you from your sleep A D We watch the sunlight flood those hills and A E D Pour out on your street D E You wore the crown, A D The biggest heart of this tiny town A There's a piece of me E A A that waits back there for you A D Carvin into tree trunks these A E lines of innocence A D Losin' worlds we'll never again A E with this precedence D E Never doing justice to the A D passions that we preached D A there's a part of your heart E you left back there A A for me D All your paint and pageantry A washed down the kitchen sink A D Standing in that tired suit A E that your father gave you, I D never loved you more that way it A doesn't matter anyway D A you left at dawn with your makeup on E A You heard the curtain call your name D D A A A D / A With my A D secrets kept under your bed A E quiet all these years, those A words you wrote D but never could say, they're still A E D ringin' in my ears D E We aged with grace and left behind A D those heightened days D A But there's something there E A that's calling back to me A A D D A All your paint and pageantry washed A D down the kitchen sink A D taking off that tired suit A E that your father gave you, your D A shoulders bare, your unkept hair I knew that A D nothing would compare A D you left at dawn with your makeup on A E A you heard the curtain call your name A A E Some day they'll come around D A Askin' where you're from E I'll burn the evidence, D A deny your name, D A your secret's safe D A buried on my tongue D A I swallow hard D E this broken heart All your paint and pageantry washed down the kitchen sink standing in that tired suit that your father gave you I never loved you more that way it doesn't matter anyway you left at dawn with your make up on you let the curtain call your name.
