D

She's never alone,

A B

because she's scared of what she might say to herself

A D F# G A B

Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in

A

A half-hearted grin

D

She won't be afraid

A B

as long as that prescription keeps going through

A D F# G A Riff 1

And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone

Riff 2

I use to learn from

D ,D/C# B

But on the phone, she's telling everyone,

G(10th fret)

that there was a blue sky,

F#(9th fret) E(7th fret)

she left behind

D D/C#

And there's a place that no one knows about,

Riff 3

Away from integrity

B D Riff 4(Bridge)

she writes a book in her head that nobody will read

D

Whatever you say,

A B

please don't talk about the time when she was young

A

Apparently that was a different person

D F# G A Riff 1 Riff 2

and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history

D D/C# B

But there's a past and she's telling everyone

G(10th fret)

It must be a garden,

F#(9th fret) E(7th fret)

that wouldn't grow

D D/C#

With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame

Riff 3

to herself as we watch he drown,

B D play interlude

I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown

D A

Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy

B A G

there is a selfish dream That makes me sick

D A

Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground

B / C# / D Riff 5

To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...

You let me down

-play outro
