Verse 1:
    C5                      C5
Her life was magazines and faithful 
    A5             G5        A5   C5
TV screens selling an empty dream
   F5            C5             C5
Of cars and calories and everything in 
  A5        G5                A5
between the sun and Saturn's ring
        F5
But the price tag can't 
   A5
be seen 


Chorus:
F5
  and it took 
A5    F5             A5
bites out of her insides 
F5              A5     G5      F5
  till she was just a hollow shell


Interlude: C5 --


Verse 2:
    C5                     C5
She grew up in east LA watching 
       A5     G5
celebrities living out 
           A5    C5
all of her dreams
    F5           C5     C5      A5
The plastic canopy of US royalty 
     G5
drew her gaze towards the 
 A5      G5                A5
sky and away from her own mind


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
C5        E5
  And at home her mother 
F5    G5 C5
cried   cause daddy 
E5                   F5   G5
had something on the side 
C5                 E5
  and they didn't look 
            F5     G5
up when she sighed oh!!!


Interlude: C5 --


Verse 3:
C5          F5
  And when August came 
 C5         C5
around the bathing 
                  A5
suits were on the ground
  G5                  A5
replaced by a cotton cloak
       F5          C5
To see her own reflection 
         C5               A5
was like squinting in the sun
         G5            A5
And when all tomorrow brings is
  F5             A5
a set if broken wings 


(Repeat Chorus twice)


Outro: C5 (hold)
