• Capo on 3rd
• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: A

Intro:

F#m  D  A  E

Verse 1:
A                    A7
Imaginative, at the age of three
          D             Dm
She would look up at a static TV
          B
And she'd think of all the cool things she'd seen
    E
And which celebrity she'd grow up to be
         A
Now  she  works  long nights
           A7
And wonders if she'd been
      D
Just a little harder on herself
      Dm
She'd feel more complete
           A                       E
'Cause the life she's led ain't a life to lead
         A
Yeah she gets admired by the wrong company

Chorus:
F#m        D                A
Dreadful days and harder nights
         E
She sure gets lonely sometimes
F#m              D               A
Her paycheck's cigarettes and wine
       E               D
Amelia Rose is losing time

Interlude:
F#m  D  A  E

Verse 2:
    A                        A7
She struts on stage and she shakes her ass
        D                          Dm
And the hounds bark violently and throw all their cash
          B
Yeah she's hoping that she can bring home a stack
          E
While the lights are dim and the music blasts
         A                       A7
When she gets back home and the room is black
    D                           Dm
She pours some wine and starts up the bath
         A                        E
When she looks in the mirror and tugs on a lash
    A
The face she sees is not the one from her past

Chorus:
F#m        D                A
Dreadful days and harder nights
         E
She sure gets lonely sometimes
F#m              D               A
Her paycheck's cigarettes and wine
       E               D
Amelia Rose is losing time

Bridge:
D              E
You might not run real fast, but
A                   F#m
You can chase your dreams
D                 E
You can put on a show and a smile, but
A               F#m
Cry behind the scenes
D                   E
And the trees that grew up with you, they
A                F#m
Got replaced by streets
D                     E
But your heart still beats

Chorus:
F#m        D                A
Dreadful days and harder nights
         E
She sure gets lonely sometimes
F#m              D               A
Her paycheck's cigarettes and wine
       E               D
Amelia Rose is losing time
