The Mistress
Amelia Curran
 Capo 4
 Am-  F-  E- Am  
Amhello it's me the mistress
Amis there anybody home?
Fcuz the last place I should be is sittin' here alone
Eall I ask for is forgiveness
Eif you've got some give it here
Amyou don't act much like you need it
Amyou don't look much like you care
Amand will you need me in the summer?
Amwill you need me in the spring?
FI believe my life is ending I don't know where to begin
EI've got a page in my back pocket of the seven deadly sins
Amand its dragging me around among the needles and the pins
Amand I dont need to take a breather
AmI'm on the outside looking out
Fyeah, I don't need to see your papers
Fcuz I know what you're about
Eyou had me by the bible and you had me by the belt
Amand you had me from the instant my cold love began to melt
Amand then you praise me for my inspiration
Amasked me for an explanation
Ffollowed up with hesitation
Ffit my primal expectation
EI don't care but I don't mind
Eyou can call me any time
Amyou can holler through the fortress
Amand kick me out of line
AmI don't expect it from the grief that gathers in my head
FI like suspended disbelief
FI like to spend the day in bed
EI like to spend the nights in heaven
Ehanging with the dead
Amyou know, Judas and his women and the voices in my head
AmI've got my eyes upon the mirror
AmI've got my hands up in the air
FI confess to my distress yeah, I great crazier each year
Eyou know I'd change it if I could you know I like to say that I would
Ambut there's a war between the parts of me
Amthe evil and the good
Amand you try and stop me i'm on fire
Amit doesn't look that way
Fyou know, I used to be a liar
Fbut living's set me straight
EI don't come with no disclaimer I'm like everybody else
Amwe keep our demons on the burner and our morals on the shelf
Amand nobody asks for my opinion because you dont want to hear
FI swear I'm only human wishing I could disappear
Eand you must think its an illusion that I like to live in fear
Amof a probable solution of why the devil put me here
Amand now no judgement call will kill me
Amjust makes me close my eyes
Fand I sink into the slumber to the prison of my mind
Ewhere I'd love to introduce you
Eif you found a way inside
Amyou could sell me retribution and totally demystify
Amuntil i wonder how I got here
Amuntil I don't know who to be
Fis it better to be grounded?
Fis it better to be free?
Eam I better off without you?
Eam I happier alone?
Amhello, its me the mistress, could you please pick up the phone?

The Mistress

Amelia Curran

Capo 4

Am F E Am

- - -

hello it's me the mistress

is there anybody home?

cuz the last place I should be is sittin' here alone

all I ask for is forgiveness

if you've got some give it here

you don't act much like you need it

you don't look much like you care

and will you need me in the summer?

will you need me in the spring?

I believe my life is ending I don't know where to begin

I've got a page in my back pocket of the seven deadly sins

and its dragging me around among the needles and the pins

and I dont need to take a breather

I'm on the outside looking out

yeah, I don't need to see your papers

cuz I know what you're about

you had me by the bible and you had me by the belt

and you had me from the instant my cold love began to melt

and then you praise me for my inspiration

asked me for an explanation

followed up with hesitation

fit my primal expectation

I don't care but I don't mind

you can call me any time

you can holler through the fortress

and kick me out of line

I don't expect it from the grief that gathers in my head

I like suspended disbelief

I like to spend the day in bed

I like to spend the nights in heaven

hanging with the dead

you know, Judas and his women and the voices in my head

I've got my eyes upon the mirror

I've got my hands up in the air

I confess to my distress yeah, I great crazier each year

you know I'd change it if I could you know I like to say that I would

but there's a war between the parts of me

the evil and the good

and you try and stop me i'm on fire

it doesn't look that way

you know, I used to be a liar

but living's set me straight

I don't come with no disclaimer I'm like everybody else

we keep our demons on the burner and our morals on the shelf

and nobody asks for my opinion because you dont want to hear

I swear I'm only human wishing I could disappear

and you must think its an illusion that I like to live in fear

of a probable solution of why the devil put me here

and now no judgement call will kill me

just makes me close my eyes

and I sink into the slumber to the prison of my mind

where I'd love to introduce you

if you found a way inside

you could sell me retribution and totally demystify

until i wonder how I got here

until I don't know who to be

is it better to be grounded?

is it better to be free?

am I better off without you?

am I happier alone?

hello, its me the mistress, could you please pick up the phone?
