D
She's never alone, 
                A                                  Bm
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
              A                         D   F#m  
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where 
  Bm  A         G
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#m  
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard 
  Bm  A            G
cut out of someone,
                 A
I use to learn from
             Bm    A               G
But on the phone,    she's telling everyone,
                   D                   F#m 
that there was a blue sky, she left behind
               Bm   A              G
And there's a place that no one knows about,
               Em                      G                   A 
Away from integrity she writes a book in her head that nobody will read

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

[Verse]  
D                                  F#m      
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy 
            Bm             A
there is a selfish dream
               G       (A)
That makes me sick
D                                      F#m          
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
