Chord/Tab song: Narcissus in a Red Dress

intro: Bm C#m [2x]

[Verse 1]

[Bm]Where a little girl once stood
Now sits [C#m]an empty base

Cold and shiny

Hard and tiny
[F#]Difficu[Em]lt to w[D]ash aw[F#]ay
oh, mon[G]sters get creative every day.

[Bm]And nothing can prepare you for the day they run away
Your f[C#m]ine tutelage is no longer needed

So you?ve sealed your fate
One mi[Bm]nute, she's your best friend

Then you watch her take your place
I g[C#m]uess that taught them all the same
You clever little c[F#]harlata[A]ns
Amb[D]ition gleams in o[G]verdrive
And [A]I can't take it

[Chorus]

[B]What goes up must come on down

Get your feet back on the ground
Na[G]rcissus in a red dress

You're like all the rest, Miss
[B]Blinded by your own reflection

Let the lights direct you now
Narc[G]issus in a red dress
You're like all the rest, I k[Bm]now.
I k[C#m]now.

[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
Vacant, frantic, and st[C#]range

Fraught with heartache and desperation
[Bm]Guess I loved you in vain,
Consider this song your w[C#]ake

Lost your head to the elevation

[F#]All the ki[Em]ng's horses and al[D]l the king's me[F#]n
[G]Couldn't bring you b[A]ack again

[Chorus repeated]
