D5 
She's never alone, 
              A5                                     B5 
because she's scared of what she might say to herself  
       A5                               D5   F#5    G5    A5        B5 
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in 
              A5 
A half-hearted grin  
                   D5 
She won't be afraid 
           A5                             B5 
as long as that prescription keeps going through 
            A5                              D5   F#5    G5       A5  Riff 1 
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone 
                 Riff 2   
I use to learn from 
              D5 , D5     B5 
But on the phone,   she's telling everyone,  
                 G5 (10th)
that there was a blue sky, 
         F#5 (9th) E5 (7th)
she left behind  
             D5                  D5 
And there's a place that no one knows about, 
         Riff 3 
Away from integrity 
             B5                D5                     Riff 4(bridge) 
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read  
                D5 
Whatever you say, 
             A5                                B5 
please don't talk about the time when she was young 
      A5                                
Apparently that was a different person 
D5   F#5 G5    A5        Riff 1                   Riff 2 
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history 
D5                 D5       B5  
But there's a past and she's telling everyone  
             G5 (10th)
It must be a garden,  
             F#5 (9th) E5 (7th)
that wouldn't grow  
              D5                    D5 
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame  
                 Riff 3 
to herself as we watch he drown,  
                 B5               D5                 play interlude 
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown 
 

D5                                A5  
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy  
           B5             A5             G5 
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick  
D5                                      A5 
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground  
               B5    /   C#5    /       D5     Riff 5 
To you what is dangerous  is safe and sound... 
 
You let me down
