I painted a scene.
      F5       C5                 F5 
Sharp objects screamed from our pockets.
         C5                F5
Our eyes gleamed in their sockets
        F5                          D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 F5
And you pawned your wedding ring.
C5 F5                   C5 F5 C5
I dreamed you a dream.
    F5       C5              F5           C5
Our new car gleamed in the front yard.
   F5          C5            F5
So happy, you thought it obscene.

We had always been clean.
         C5              F5          C5           F5
Then you crossed it all out with a thick black line.
   C5       F5      C5

My momma came over. She hid all of my things
    C5       F5   C5 F5 C5        F5               F5
She doesn?t believe rock and roll transcends time
               D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5  
It saves lives 
         F5

With a thick dark line.
