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

D A Bm G

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

( some solo stuff )
D A Bm G

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

( outro )
D A Bm G
