( C Am F G ) 

C         Am          F         G                      
Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain 
C         Am          F         G      
Ran to New York but ran away from fame 
C         Am          F         G                
Only seventeen when all your dreams came true 
C         Am          F         G  
But all you wanted was someone to undress you 
E                                  F
And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain 
E                                  F                  
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed 
          G 
You?re still the same 


            C         Am          F         G  
And it?s a long long way from where you want to be 
            C         Am          F         G
And it?s a long long way, but you?re too blind to see 


C         Am          F         G                
Frame of silence of an innocent divine 
C                Am                F              G                
Is a dangerous creation when you fail the test of time 


E                             F
And all the photographs of ghosts of long ago 
E                             F        
Still they hurt you so, won?t let you go 
           G
And you still don?t know 


            C         Am          F         G  
And it?s a long long way from where you want to be 
            C         Am          F         G
And it?s a long long way, but you?re too blind to see 


Am                                 C
When you look around yourself now, do you recognize the girl 
Dm                                   G
The one, who broke a thousand hearts, terrified the world 


E                                  F
And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain 
E                                  F                  
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed 
          G        
You?re still the same 


            C         Am          F         G  
And it?s a long long way from where you want to be 
            C         Am          F         G
And it?s a long long way, but you?re too blind to see 
            C         Am          F         G  
And it?s a long long way from where you want to be
