INTRO: Am C G (x5)
VERSE 1:
Am C G
The marionette has your number
Am C G
It pullin your arms and legs till you can't stand on your own
Am C G
Dragging your conscience on the stage and you heart gets rearranged
Am C G
And you cannot tell your mentor from your maker
Am C G
Look at the crowds bleeding with laughter
Am C G
Over the way you entertain at beckon call
Am C G
They don't see behind the lights or the painted background
Am C G
They just like to see you fall
CHORUS:
C Am C G
But you don't really mind
C Am C G
Cause you're just wasting time
C Am C G
You can't feel anything
C Am C G
Just a boy on a string
VERSE 2:
Am C G
I feel a sadness like Gapetto
Am C G
Watching the life that he created run away,
Am C G
Seeing the puppeteer's intrusion and holding the remains
Am C G
Of puppets that had rotted away
Am C G
One day the curtain will not open
Am C G
And all of the crowds will go away
Am C G
Someday those strings will choke you
Am C G
But until that day
CHORUS

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JARS OF CLAY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
