E F#m
He says he looks in the mirror
Cm# A
And he can't tell anymore
E F#m C#m A
Who he really is and who they believed him to be
E F#m
And he says he walks a thin line
Cm# A
Between what is and what could be
E F#m
and he's getting closer
C#m A
to something he can't understand
B5 E
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
B5 E
and his throne of ice is melting
B5
He climbed his ladder
E
There was nothing there
A5
Now it's a long way down
E F#m C#m
Cause on and on and on he goes
A E
Dancing on the grave
F#m C#m A
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
E F#m C#m
and on and on and on he goes
A E
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
F#m A
and castles made of sand
E F#m
He says his head is filled up with
C#m A
Cartoons and fairy tales
E F#m
and he's trapped inside a dungeon of dolls
C#m A
With smiles on their faces
E F#m
He's built a pretty cage
C#m A
His show's on a beautiful stage
E F#m
With candy coated prison bars
C#m A
and chains that look like jewelry
B5 E
Cause there's a crack in his plastic crown
B5 E
and his throne of ice is melting
B5
He climbed his ladder
E
There was nothing there
A5
Now it's a long way down
E F#m C#m
Cause on and on and on he goes
A E
Dancing on the grave
F#m C#m A
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
E F#m C#m
and on and on and on he goes
A E
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
F#m A
and castles made of sand
C#m A
Cause he lives inside
E F#m
of fairy tales and castles now
C#m A
and there's no room inside
E F#m A5 A
for false expectations and illusions
B5 E
There's a crack in his plastic crown
B5 E
and his throne of ice is melting
B5
He climbed his ladder
E
There was nothing there
A5
Now it's a long way down
A
It's along way down
E F#m C#m
Cause on and on and on he goes
A E
Dancing on the grave
F#m C#m A
of what he thought was still alive (Hey)
