intro: Bm C#m [2x]
[Verse 1]
Bm
Where a little girl once stood
C#m
Now sits an empty base
Cold and shiny
Hard and tiny
F# Em D F#
Difficult to wash away
G
oh, monsters get creative every day.
Bm
And nothing can prepare you for the day they run away
C#m
Your fine tutelage is no longer needed
So you’ve sealed your fate
Bm
One minute, she's your best friend
Then you watch her take your place
C#m
I guess that taught them all the same
F# A
You clever little charlatans
D G
Ambition gleams in overdrive
A
And I can't take it
[Chorus]
B
What goes up must come on down
Get your feet back on the ground
G
Narcissus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, Miss
B
Blinded by your own reflection
Let the lights direct you now
G
Narcissus in a red dress
Bm
You're like all the rest, I know.
C#m
I know.
[Verse 2]
Behave and like the Virgin Queen
You're just as damaged underneath
You know, No matter how good your impersonation of me ever grows,
Deep down you know your insides never change
But people love it, vapid and shamesless, simply lacking taste
They fall for the spell of Lady Macbeth
Her calculated grace
But I can see the hunger of compulsion in your face
High school skinny fades away
And you're just left with Polaroids
capturing your fifteen minutes
Ain't it great?
[Chorus repeated]
Bm
Vanity on parade
C#
Vacant, frantic, and strange
Fraught with heartache and desperation
Bm
Guess I loved you in vain,
C#
Consider this song your wake
Lost your head to the elevation
F# Em D F#
All the king's horses and all the king's men
G A
Couldn't bring you back again
[Chorus repeated]
