[Verse 1]
BAll the money in the world couldn't save her from herself
BShe's such a loner, I can't understand
  G#mI go drink with her but now I can't control myself
G#mI get excited, I get upset
BBut she's such a scream, you know I owe her everything
BAll us golden children, we owe her everything
  D#mBut when she gets like this she forgets herself
D#mShe hates herself too
D#mShe says she doesn't like the way you look or where you're from
  F#And all her underworld officers, they're headed out for the night
[Chorus]
EOh, Lord, releBase me
And turn me Eover to the whF#eels of Bfate
[Verse 2]
BI know that there a place for us
(ECan she Bdance?) I know this worlds not too small for us
(ECan she G#mdance?) And I could love her if she didn't believe the F#things she G#msays
G#mAnd I could love her if she wasn't scared (ACan she F#dance?)
F#Last night we were staggering home, she was waving her gun around
Screaming into the nF#7ight
[Verse 3]
BShe swung out of the door just like a wrecking ball
BI settled the tab, I started following her
I heard her screaming, I heard her G#mscreaming down the street
G#m"You know I've never really paid for the things I've did"
G#mI said, "No one ever really does, and of course it's not too late"
  BAround on the corner I lost sight of her
BCrossed the street, caught up to her, turned around, held her hand, gave her a smoke
D#mShe pushed me up against the wall
D#mShe said "I'm sick. Get out the sickness"
D#mI held her hair back while she puked
She was saying over and over and over again
  F#"All these underworld officers, shit, they shoot my sons in the street"
[Chorus]
EOh, lord, releBase me
EOh, lord, releBase me
And turn me Eover to the whF#eels of faBte
[Verse 4]
BOh, yeah, man, I think you know she can
(CEan she dBance?) But I got hope, I got hope, I got hope that we both can dance
(CEan she dG#mance?) And I know that there's a place for us
(F#Can she dG#mance?) And in the tower, behind the golden door, she whispered in my ear
(ACan she Bdance?) She was holding on to my sleeve
"Let's roll, let's get outta here"E
