Broken chords by Joey Cape

A                         C#
She, compelled by her caffeine
                   F#
Our mother's lucid dream
              D
Keeper of our keys
A                       C#
Me, the watcher on her wall
                   F#                 D          Dm
Our queen again to fall, Involuntary scene. Vicarious defeat
          A                      E
We aren't like her. They aren't like her
    F#
Broken
   D                  E7        A      E      F#
So go the planes that leave. Survivior on the wing
D                  E7   A           E    F#
Longer the longing run. Both worlds left undone
        D              E7   A          E      F#
Neither one feels like home built from rubble stone
     D                     E7
When all of our walls cave in
   A    C#          F#     D     E7
If only she weren't broken oh uh oh
   A    C#          F#     D     E7
If only she weren't broken oh uh oh
  A     C#        D
If only she could leave
         E7     D                       E7
I still believe we lay witness to good deeds
D                           E7
But none of us are kings or queens
                     A
Just peasant stock fatigue
