EHer blue eyes frozen green in the E/Eblow-lit ATAM
[Pre-Chorus]
I F#mneed a way to measure the Adistance
I F#mneed a way to say C#mwhy
Out of Abreath or out of key
F#mHer voice reC#msonated in EmeE/Eb  B  
[Chorus]
AWish on everyEthE/EbingB  
APray that she reEmaE/EbinsB  
AProud and strange and C#mso hopelessly Esus2hopeful

EHer body is a difficult E/Ebsister and she Aloves her
EAnd hides her somewhere in herE/Ebself, safe from Aharm
EHer night shift is over, she's E/Ebwriting you a Apostcard
To Esay that she's okay and it's E/Ebraining there Aagain
[Pre-Chorus]
My F#mfury's rising faster than bAus fares
Could F#msomeone clarify C#mwhy
There's no Astructured narrative?
ENo neat storyC#mline to exEplE/EbainB
