Let Me Down

No Use For A Name

Tom: D

                 D
She's never alone,
              A                                    Bm
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
       A                               D   F#    Bm    A        G
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
              A
A half-hearted grin
                   D
She won't be afraid
           A                             Bm
as long as that prescription keeps going through
            A                              D   F#    Bm       A   G
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone
               A    F#
I use to learn from
            Bm                  G
But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
                 D
that there was a blue sky,
         A      F#
she left behind
             Bm                 G
And there's a place that no one knows about,
          F#
Away from integrity
             G                     A
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read

( D A Bm A G )

                D
Whatever you say,
             A                                Bm
please don't talk about the time when she was young
      A
Apparently that was a different person
D   F# Bm    A       G                         A       F#
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
              Bm  A                  G
But there's a past and she's telling everyone
             D
It must be a garden,
              A    F#
that wouldn't grow
              Bm                     G
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
            F#
to herself as we watch he drown,
                 G               A
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown

( D A Bm A G ) (2x)

D                                F#
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
           Bm             A             G
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick
D                                      A
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
               Bm       A           G
To you what is dangerous  is safe and sound...

You let me down                                        

Final: D A Bm A G D A Bm A G A D
