[VERSE]
Am Em C G/B Am
So many years ago, many more than I'd even care to bear in my mind
Em G D/F#
From the darkest of all places I found you
Am Em C G/B Am
All the limbs in their right places and a heart made of real gold
Em G D/F#
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind
[PRE-CHORUS]
C Em D C
Every night I returned to watch them
Em D C
The master and the puppet in the show
Em D C
He said "Oh no, I cannot sell him
Em D C
Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."
[VERSE]
Am Em C G/B
Please sell me your puppet, sir, name your price oh please
Am Em G D/F#
Whatever you may ask, tenfold the price I pay
Am Em C G/B
Did I not make it clear? This debate is over
Am Em G D/F#
I will never part from this puppet, my son
[PRE-CHORUS]
C Em D C
With hungry eyes I followed them all night
Em D C
The blind master and the puppet he had made
Em Dadd11 C
No, sir, to sell is not my will
Em D C
The doll is mine, even if I have to kill
[KEY CHANGE]
Bb Dm C Bb
So it shall be, if this is what it takes
Dm C Bb
Greed is truly blinder than me
Dm C Bb
Heart of gold is what you wish for?
Dm C Bb
So this little boy wants to be a puppet, for real
Bb Dm C F
Bb Dm C G
Bb Dm C F
Bb Dm C G
[BRIDGE]
C D
So I have the golden heart
C D B D
Now only needing the voice of the master
C G/B D E
Never feel hunger, never grow older
C D B Am
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show

Am Am6 Am Dm
It's so hard to remember my life
Esus4 E Gm
The times before the show
Gm6 Gm Cm
Can I ever cut off the strings?
Dsus4 D Am
"Take a bow, now dance and sing, sing!"
Am6 Am Dm
Would you turn me to a child again?
Esus4 E Gm
"No, never, I am your guide"
Gm6 Gm Cm
You can see a small grin on the face
F Dm G Em
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place
[OUTRO]
Am E G
Be careful what you wish for, wishes might come alive
G E Am
The twines are pulling me every day and night
Am E G
The show, the glitter and all the fame, I'd give away for a life
G
Some things can end with a word, they say
E Am
This only ends with a sharp knife, knife!
