Verse 1:
    C                      C7
Her life was magazines and faithful 
    Am             G        Am   C
TV screens selling an empty dream
   F            C             C7
Of cars and calories and everything in 
  Am        G                Am
between the sun and Saturn's ring
        F
But the price tag can't 
   Am
be seen 


Chorus:
F
  and it took 
Am    F             Am
bites out of her insides 
F              Am     G      F
  till she was just a hollow shell


Interlude: C --


Verse 2:
    C                     C7
She grew up in east LA watching 
       Am     G
celebrities living out 
           Am    C
all of her dreams
    F           C     C7      Am
The plastic canopy of US royalty 
     G
drew her gaze towards the 
 Am      G                Am
sky and away from her own mind


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
C        Em
  And at home her mother 
F    G C
cried   cause daddy 
Em                   F   G
had something on the side 
C                 Em
  and they didn't look 
            F     G
up when she sighed oh!!!


Interlude: C --


Verse 3:
C          F
  And when August came 
 C         C7
around the bathing 
                  Am
suits were on the ground
  G                  Am
replaced by a cotton cloak
       F          C
To see her own reflection 
         C7               Am
was like squinting in the sun
         G            Am
And when all tomorrow brings is
  F             Am
a set if broken wings 


(Repeat Chorus twice)


Outro: C (hold)
