[Intro]
G   Gmaj7  x2 
  
G        Cm                      Em 
Fools on parade cavort and carry on 
            Bm 
For waiting eyes 
               Am                       Bm 
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of 
          Am                        Bm 
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
[Strumentale]
Em  Bm  G  D  x4
[Versetto]
    Em       Bm     G         D 
She swam out of tonight's phantasm 
Em         Bm       G       D      Em      Bm 
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear 
        G           D            Em    Bm G D 
There's absolutely nothing for us here 
       Em           Bm 
It's a magnolia celebration 
      G                       D 
To be attended on a Wednesday night 
     Em                        Bm 
It's better that than get a reputation 
     G                D 
As a miserable little tyke 
    Em                  Bm 
At least that's the conclusion 
     G              D    Em   Bm   G 
She came to in this overture 
Em G Bm
[Ritornello]
Bm                     Em 
The secret door swings behind us 
             Am 
She's saying nothing 
           G        Bm 
She's just giggling along
[Versetto]
    Em        Bm      G       D 
Her arms were folded most indignant 
Em     Bm        G       D        Em    Bm 
Not looking like she was soon to leave 
  G                D           Em   Bm   G   D 
I had to squint in order to believe 
                Em                  Bm 
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf 
      G               D 
And unveiling the unexpected 
Em                  Bm                G                     D 
I who was earlier reluctant was suddenly embarrassed and corrected. 
Em               Bm        G                D   Em   Bm   G 
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat? 
Em G Bm
[Ritornello]
Bm                       Em 
The secret door swings behind us 
             Am 
She's saying nothing 
           Em 
She's just giggling along 
Bm                       Em 
    Even if they were to find us 
           Am             Bm          D 
I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied
[Outro]
           G        Cm 
At all the fools on parade 
           Em                   Bm 
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes 
               Am                       Bm 
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of 
          Am 
But she's never been the kind 
      D 
To be hollowed by the stares 
G        Cm                Em 
Fools on parade frolic and fuck about 
          Bm              Am                     Bm 
To make a gaze turn to a scribble on a page by a picture 
               Am 
That holds her absence 
                   D 
But you're daft to think she'd care 
G          Cm      Em  Bm 
Fools on parade 
Am         Bm      Am   D 
Fools on parade 
G          Cm 
Fools on parade 
           Em          Bm  Am Bm Am D 
Conduct a sing-along
