She's stopped the light

Emma's been run out on.

Cm       
She's breaking down
     
     F          
In so many places,

Cm                      
Stuck in low gear

       F                    
Because of her fears

Of the skidding wheels,
  
           F

(She's losing, she's losing, she's losing, she's losing...)

Dm                           F
She's losing that inner flame.

            Dm           
It was burning bright,

                  G
But she's losing the light fast.

Dm                   F                     
She's only herself to blame.

Well, take care of yourself,

               G                       
And remember Georgie.

                 Dm             
But she's so O.D.'d on weeping

               G
She can hardly see

                  Dm  
That she's dropping beads.

G
(Red, red glass is bleeding.)

Dm
Dropping beads.

G
(Red, red glass is bleeding.)

Dm
Dropping beads.

G
(Red, red on the parquet.)
