[INTRO ]:      G     C 

  
[Refrão]
 

    G   D   Em      G 
Ballerina, prima donna 
          C              G 
Take your shoes and your shellac 
              Bm                  C 
Get out of my life and donâ??t come back 
                 D                  G 
Iâ??ve played your games for far too long 


   verse 1 
        Em       D                    C            G 
Was it you who mesmerised me, or the Covent Garden lights 
      C           G                       Am            D 
That thrilled and hypnotised me on those long fantastic nights? 
C                  D                  Em              C 
You nearly took me in, you wore that smile upon your face 
    G          C               G              C               D 
But I began to wake up when I saw behind the make-up and the lace

        Em           D                    C                G 
Now that I know you well, I see our love affair was just a fling 
         C           G                  A           D 
So with these final words I leave this crazy circus ring 
  C             D           Em              C 
I cry no wasted tears as I show you to the door 
         G              C           G               C         D        Dsus4    D 
You can love or you can hate me, but you wonâ??t manipulate me anymore
