 C                    F       Am    
Box office lady is calling me out
         F                    C            G
Yeah and I won't know what to do with my mouth
        Am              F
Every salty kiss, you brave in the streetlight
          C                           G       C
Oh and Mercury's against me, she's winning tonight

Am G D/F# x2

               C                        F      Am
Now they're combing for pennies in the old cobblestones
         F                     C        G
Those carnival kids, man they never go home
           Am                      F
They're tossing and turning and dodging the stones
          C                  G         C
Oh and Mercury's missing me just by a throw


[Chorus]

            Am     F     C          G
Yeah and alright, okay, now I know
             Am       F          C             G
Here in the hems the hand that rolls the bones
              Am                G            C    E
Oh and the fortune lady's the only one who knows

           C                        F            Am
Well out there on the wire there's something to save
      F                     C         G
And hope is a word man it never could be
            Am                      F
Oh we're fumbling for fiction or something to take
            C                      G            C
Yeah and Mercury's smiling, but I know she's a fake


[Chorus]

            Am     F     C         G
Yeah and alright, okay, now I see
             Am          F          C         G
Here in the hems of the hand that built the beach
             Am                F        C    G
Oh and the fortune lady's the only one
            Am               G            C    E
Yeah the fortune lady's the only one who sees


[Verse]

     C                      F           Am
And old madam haggard is cleaning the clocks
             F                     C          G
While the paperboy's combing his nickels for rocks
  Am                           F
Coyote's in the car with the motor running loud
           C                          G        C
Yeah the stars were all hiding when Mercury's out
