CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:   G    G/F#    Em  C  
GFive in the morning, G/F#lying in bed
EmListening to the thunderstorm Cin her head
GLooks around the room as she G/F#opens her eyes
EmPictures on the mantle of a Clife gone by
She's been sleeping a Bmlong time, hm-hm-Dhmm
GQuiet now, everyG/F#one still asleep
She can Emfeel her heart beating, she can Chear herself breathe
Her Gmother told her to be a G/F#dark mystery
The Emdarkness is out of control and Cshe can't see
But at least she's aBmlive, aha-Dha
CHORUS:
She's gonna Chit the ground running from this Emdead end street
DSaved by the power of her Amown two feet
ReCmembering a song from Emlong ago
It's aDround and around, it's the Amway things go
The way things Cgo
INTERLUDE:   Em    D      Am    C    Em    D      Am  
GShivers in the cold, G/F#slips on her clothes
EmWalks downstairs, Cicy wind blows
GFace to face inG/F#side the front doorEm  
It's not a crime Cto need more
There's something I'm Bmlooking for, oh-oh-Dohh
GIf you leave now, you can G/F#never come back
You're Emthrowing us away, you Ccan't do that
I'm Gfalling like a leaf from the G/F#family tree
I Emdon't need you the Cway you need me
You Bmneed me, la-la-Dla-laa
CHORUS:
