D
She's never alone,
ABm
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
ADF#BmAG
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
A
A half-hearted grin
D
She won't be afraid
ABm
as long as that prescription keeps going through
ADF#BmAG
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone
AF#
I use to learn from
BmG
But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
D
that there was a blue sky,
AF#
she left behind
BmG
And there's a place that no one knows about,
F#
Away from integrity
GA
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
( DABmAG )
D
Whatever you say,
ABm
please don't talk about the time when she was young
A
Apparently that was a different person
DF#BmAGAF#
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
BmAG
But there's a past and she's telling everyone
D
It must be a garden,
AF#
that wouldn't grow
BmG
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
F#
to herself as we watch he drown,
GA
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
( DABmAG ) (2x)
DF#
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
BmAG
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick
DA
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
BmAGGm
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down
