sawed in half
D   G    C D
It was done by
D    G   C D
a bad magician
D      G    C   D
There was a point at which
D        G   C D
she just had to laugh
D       G   C D
You could appreciate
D   G   C D
her position
D      G    C D
Her legs in one way
D        G  C D
and her head another
D       G    C   D
She just kept thinking about
D    G  C D
walking away
D       G    C    D
They tried to put her back together
D       G   C D
underneath the cover
D    G     C     D
But her heart kept getting in,
D       G  C D
getting in the way

D          G  C D
love, this was show time
D     G    C    D
And he was sweating bullets
D       G   C D
and walking on glass
D         G        C D
Somewhere between the evening news
D       G    C D
and tomorrow's headline   Buzz awhile

It was done by

no, you didn't have to ask
D    G     C D
She was gonna have to make
D    G   C D
her own decisions
D      G   C   D
Her legs got up and walked away
D         G   C D
and her head came rolling
D        G    C   D
Oh, the room was painted black light
D          G  C   D
and, and turning the day glow
D        G     C D
She wound up in two places at once,
D       G    C D
her heart was swollen
D       G    C  D
He played his musical saw
D         G     C D
in the streets of San Diego

D  C  G    D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
D  C  G    D

D  C  G    D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

        G   C D
in a circus in Bombay
   G       C D           G  C D
Now a woman's gonna do exactly what a woman's gonna
G   C    D               G   C  D
Yeah, some bad magicians wouldn't have it any other way
     G   C    D               G   C  D
She holds on to that trapeze by the skin of her teeth or so they say
