N.C.   Dm         Gm          Dm 
I walk alone, the night wears a shadow 
C          Dm      C          Dm 
Painted in silver, painted in gold 
A                  Dm       A                     Dm 
The moment ends in silence, then the moment grows old 

N.C.         Dm        Gm              Dm 
And when she smiles, a thousand dreams surround her 
C             Dm      C          Dm 
Dress them in secrets no one can hold 
A                    Dm        A                  Dm 
The fire dies in the distance, as the embers grow cold 

A#   C      F 
Sing for me now 
Gm                  Dm 
All the world is a stage 
A#     C      F 
Smile, take a bow 
Em7              A 
From your gilded cage 

N.C.       Dm     Gm               Dm 
Behind the glass, she's safe where no one can reach her 
C          Dm     C             Dm 
Roses with thorns just make her bleed 
A                     Dm  A         Dm 
A fragile porcelain angel breaks so easily 

A#   C      F 
Sing for me now 
Gm                  Dm 
All the world is a stage 
A#     C      F 
Smile, take a bow 
Em7              A 
From your gilded cage 

N.C.         Dm    Gm                   Dm 
The restless heart cries when no one is listening 
C                 Dm       C           Dm 
She's waiting for someone, waiting for you 
A                 Dm        A                   Dm 
To want, love and need her, to help her make it through 
A             Dm        A             Dm 
As the moment grows old in her gilded cage
