Intro: Am  G  C  F   Am  G  C  F   Am  G
  C
I followed far behind you
       Em
To the edge of Tinseltown
           F              C
Where the [Carnival ?] is open
        F                Dm
And the curtains falling down
       C
Took a seat in the front row
         Em
You were there, up on the stage
         F                C
You were paying for their silver
         F                 Dm  Dm7 Dm Dm7
With your beauty and your rage
   F                C
I  found you in the dressing room
   F                  C
At peace with your disgrace
       Am   G    C     F
In the body of a messenger
                Am G C F  Am G
With Aphrodite's face
  C
I reached out, but you ran away
       Em
When I caught your glimpse of hell
      F               C
But I lost you in the alleyway
    F                  Dm
Where no one knows you well
       C
If the times were not so killing
           Em
They'd lay flowers at your feet
       F                 C
If the flesh were not so willing
        F             Dm
And the spirit not so weak
       F                C
They'd come to get your blessing
         F                   C
When the gods hang up their [trace ?]
       Am   G    C     F
In the body of a messenger
                Am G C F  Am G C F  Am G C
With Aphrodite's face
Bridge:
F          Em
Imitation, worries skin deep
Dm         Am
Imitation, go back to sleep
F               Am
Love is so much deeper than this
Dm             Am G C  F  Am G C F  Am G
Hollow horn of emptiness
         C
It's too soon to end your story
         Em
It's too late to take it back
   F                     C
And all that's been made holy
   F              Dm
Can never be made hack
       C
I'll unlace my ties that bind you
       Em
And my fingers from your hand
          F               C
Then I'll lose you 'til I find you
        F              Dm
From the woman in the man
         F                  C
But your curse will be your blessing
         F               C
When the angel takes his place
       Am   G    C     F
In the body of a messenger
                Am G C F  Am G C
With Aphrodite's face
