Verse 1:

She's never alone

because she's scared of what

she might say to herself

Always drinking in the

D F#

backroom of the bar where

Bm D G

everyone turns in

A half-hearted grin

She won't be afraid

as long as that prescription

keeps going through

And all the happy pills make

D F#

her look like cardboard

Bm D G

cut out of someone

A F#

I use to learn from

Chorus 1:

Bm A

But on the phone

she's telling everyone

that there was a blue

sky she left behind

Bm A

And there's a place

G D/F#

that no one knows about

Away from integrity

she writes a book

in her head that

A D A Bm A G

nobody will read

Verse 2:

Whatever you say

please don't talk about

the time when she was young

Apparently that was a

D F#

different person and so

Bm D G

long ago it's strange to

A F#

me there's no history

Chorus 2:

Bm A/C#

But there's a past and

she's telling everyone

D/F#

It must be a garden

D F#/Bb

that wouldn't grow

Bm A

With roots of shame

G D/F#

too sensitive to blame

herself as we watch he drown

I can't save the queen

without a kingdom

D A Bm A G Gm

x2 <-- Bass Solo

or a crown

Outro:

Somewhere in this

lonely game of sympathy

Bm A

there is a selfish dream

G D/F#

That makes me sick

Standing on the high wire

while you're on the ground

Bm A

To you what is dangerous

G Gm

is safe and sound

G D Bm G A D Bm G A D

(Hold) (hold)

You let me down
