                 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
