She tells her mother, I am not afraid

Of dying in the bath, or swinging from up here
(E MajorE) (F#F#) F#7F#7
She asks her mother if she slept with strangers

Of all the things her mother said

She ran out in nature, AH!
F#7F#7
She ran out in nature………
She ran out in nature………
I found the Phantom would go
Across the river and hide from all the suffering
Like the shades of trees
Take off my dress and flow into the stuff we're in
She ran out in nature
What'd she find?
She ran out in nature
Where'd she go?
She ran out in nature
Phantom light
She ran out in nature
Take her home
**G#5 F#F#
Yeaaaaaah!Everybody wants it!
**G#5 F#F#
Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Can't you see me waste it?
F#7F#7
She ran out in nature………
She ran out in nature………
We've gotta buy our land
When they go out and take all the stuff we're in
We've got neither reachin' for the stars
And beg and keep us sufferin'
She ran out in nature
What'd she find?
She ran out in nature
Where'd she go?
She ran out in nature
Can't somebody
She ran out in nature
Take her home?
**G#5 F#F#
Yeaaaaaah!Everybody wants it!
**G#5 F#F#
Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Can't you see me waste it?
