Chords
	 
[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
[Instrumental]
Em Bm G D x4
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
Bm Em
The secret door swings behind us
Am
She's saying nothing
G Bm
She's just giggling along
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
