The Trapeze Swinger
Gregory Alan Isakov
Key : D
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
D/F# | Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 
D/F# | Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 
D/F# | Aadd11 | Gmaj7 
D/F# | Aadd11 

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       D/F#          Aadd11       Gmaj7
Please,   remember me      happily
           D/F#      Aadd11
By the rosebush laughing
         D/F#           Aadd11             Gmaj7
With bruises on my chin,      the time when
            D/F#           Aadd11
We counted every black car passing

[Verse 1]
---------------------
        Bm/F#              Aadd11
Your house beneath the hill
            Gmaj7               D/F#         Aadd11
And up until     someone caught us in the kitchen
          Bm/F#                Aadd11            Gmaj7
With maps,    a mountain range,      a piggy bank
             D/F#          Aadd11
A vision too removed to mention

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
           D/F#          Aadd11      Gmaj7
But please,   remember me      fondly
                 D/F#             Aadd11
I heard from someone you're still pretty
        D/F#                  Aadd11
And then   they went on to say
                Gmaj7
That the pearly gates
          D/F#          Aadd11
Had such eloquent graffiti    

[Verse 2]
---------------------
           Bm/F#          Aadd11                  Gmaj7
Like "We'll    meet again"      and "Fuck the man"
               D/F#          Aadd11
And "Tell my mother not to worry"
      Bm/F#                Aadd11          Gmaj7
And angels with their great      handshakes
                 D/F#        Aadd11
Were always done in such a hurry   

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
           D/F#          Aadd11              Gmaj7
And please,   remember me      that Halloween
             D/F#            Aadd11
Making fools of all the neighbors
      D/F#                Aadd11
Our fa   ces painted white
            Gmaj7          D/F#        Aadd11
By midnight,     we'd forgotten one another  

[Verse 3]
---------------------
        Bm/F#               Aadd11             Gmaj7
And when    the morning came      I was ashamed
              D/F#       Aadd11
Allthough now it seems so      silly
        Bm/F#             Aadd11                 Gmaj7
That season left the world      and then returned
                 D/F#        Aadd11 D/F#
Now you're lit up   by the city    

[Solo 1]
---------------------
Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 | D/F# 
Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
       D/F#          Aadd11          Gmaj7
Please,   remember me      mistakenly
          D/F#         Aadd11        D/F#
On the window of the tallest tower Ca
               Aadd11                 Gmaj7
lling passersby      but much too high
              D/F#         Aadd11        Bm/F#
To see the empty road at happy hour Gleam

[Verse 4]
---------------------
             Aadd11                   Gmaj7
and resonate,      just like the gates
             D/F#   Aadd11        Bm/F#                    Aadd11                Gmaj7
Around the holy kingdom With words    like "Lost and found"      and "Don't look down"
             D/F#     Aadd11
"Someone save   temptation"

[Chorus (5)]
---------------------
       D/F#          Aadd11               Gmaj7
Please,   remember me      as in the dream
             D/F#   Aadd11
We had as rugburned babies
     D/F#               Aadd11               Gmaj7
Among   the fallen trees      and fast asleep
            D/F#          Aadd11
Aside the lions and the ladies

[Verse 5]
---------------------
           Bm/F#                Aadd11              Gmaj7
That called    you what you like      and even might
            D/F#         Aadd11
Give a gift for your behavior
      Bm/F#             Aadd11         Gmaj7
A fleeting chance to see      a trapeze
             D/F#     Aadd11
Swinger high as any savior

[Chorus (6)]
---------------------
           D/F#           Aadd11         Gmaj7
But please,   remember me,      my misery
            D/F#        Aadd11
How it lost me all I wanted
          D/F#                 Aadd11                  Gmaj7
Those dogs   that love the rain      and chasing trains
                  D/F#           Aadd11
The colored birds above their running

[Verse 6]
---------------------
      Bm/F#               Aadd11                   Gmaj7
In circles around the well      and where it spells
            D/F#       Aadd11
On the wall behind St. Peter
         Bm/F#              Aadd11              Gmaj7
In black,    on cinder gray,      in spray paint
              D/F#        Aadd11 D/F#
"Who the hell can see forever?" 

[Solo 2]
---------------------
Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 | D/F# 
Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 

[Chorus (7)]
---------------------
       D/F#          Aadd11        Gmaj7
Please,   remember me      seldomly
           D/F#          Aadd11
In the car behind the carnival
       D/F#                  Aadd11                  Gmaj7
My hand   between your knees,      you turned from me
                  D/F#            Aadd11
And said, "The trapeze act was wonderful

[Verse 7]
---------------------
      Bm/F#              Aadd11                     Gmaj7
But never meant to last",      the clown that passed
            D/F#           Aadd11
Saw me just come up with anger
             Bm/F#                Aadd11               Gmaj7
And it filled    with circus dogs,      the parking lot
        D/F#         Aadd11
Had an element of danger

[Chorus (8)]
---------------------
       D/F#          Aadd11       Gmaj7
Please,   remember me      finally
             D/F#     Aadd11      D/F#            Aadd11                Gmaj7
And all my uphill clawing My dear,   but if I make      the pearly gates
                D/F#          Aadd11
I'll do my best to make a drawing

[Verse 8]
---------------------
      Bm/F#           Aadd11              Gmaj7
Of God    and Lucifer,      a boy and girl
                D/F#       Aadd11
An angel kissing   on a sinner   
     Bm/F#          Aadd11               Gmaj7
A monkey and a man ,      a marching band
           D/F#             Aadd11
All around a  frightened trapeze swinger

[Outro]
---------------------
D/F# | Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 
D/F# | Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 
D/F# | Aadd11 | Gmaj7 | D/F# | Aadd11 
D/F#
