Artist: Jewel Song: Long Slow Slide Tab by: Kate Intro: Em, D, Em, D Verse 1: Em D Lights are bright in the circus Em D The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes and laugh at your misery Em D While the weight of the curtain closing crushes your heart Em D The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart G It's a long slow slide Em It's a long slow slide A It's a long slow slide D Down Em Once the neon is gone D There's still that golden splinter at your side Em D His manners are charming, but who are you fooling? You are still nobody's bride Em D And Bukowski's widow haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel Em D As ghoulish lovers collide in a collage of kisses that they steal G It's a long slow slide Em It's a long slow slide A It's a long slow slide D Down D - A - Bm D - A - Bm D - G - C#m D - A - Bm Em D And outside the window the circus crackles and lurches with rings of smoke Em D You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline, not realizing they've made you the joke Em D And inside my heart a war is raging in regions still untamed Em D The worst fear I can imagine is for the mystery to be named Em D Is for the mystery to be named G It's a long slow slide Em It's a long slow slide A It's a long slow slide G It's a long slow slide Em It's a long slow slide A It's a long slow slide D Down C#m = 556775 I love this song. It's very simple, but the lyrics and vocals are so beautiful...
