The Mistress
Amelia Curran


 Capo 4

A minorAm - FF - E MajorE - A minorAm

A minorAm
hello it's me the mistress
A minorAm
is there anybody home?
FF
cuz the last place I should be is sittin' here alone
E MajorE
all I ask for is forgiveness
E MajorE
if you've got some give it here
A minorAm
you don't act much like you need it
A minorAm
you don't look much like you care
A minorAm
and will you need me in the summer?
A minorAm
will you need me in the spring?
FF
I believe my life is ending I don't know where to begin
E MajorE
I've got a page in my back pocket of the seven deadly sins
A minorAm
and its dragging me around among the needles and the pins
A minorAm
and I dont need to take a breather
A minorAm
I'm on the outside looking out
A minorAm
yeah, I don't need to see your papers
FF
cuz I know what you're about
E MajorE
you had me by the bible and you had me by the belt
A minorAm
and you had me from the instant my cold love began to melt
A minorAm
and then you praise me for my inspiration
A minorAm
asked me for an explanation
A minorAm
followed up with hesitation
FF
fit my primal expectation
E MajorE
I don't care but I don't mind
E MajorE
you can call me any time
A minorAm
you can holler through the fortress
A minorAm
and kick me out of line
A minorAm
I don't expect it from the grief that gathers in my head
FF
I like suspended disbelief
FF
I like to spend the day in bed
E MajorE
I like to spend the nights in heaven
E MajorE
hanging with the dead
A minorAm
you know, Judas and his women and the voices in my head
A minorAm
I've got my eyes upon the mirror
A minorAm
I've got my hands up in the air
FF
I confess to my distress yeah, I great crazier each year
E MajorE
you know I'd change it if I could you know I like to say that I would
A minorAm
but there's a war between the parts of me
A minorAm
the evil and the good
A minorAm
and you try and stop me i'm on fire
A minorAm
it doesn't look that way
FF
you know, I used to be a liar
FF
but living's set me straight
E MajorE
I don't come with no disclaimer I'm like everybody else
A minorAm
we keep our demons on the burner and our morals on the shelf
A minorAm
and nobody asks for my opinion because you dont want to hear
FF
I swear I'm only human wishing I could disappear
E MajorE
and you must think its an illusion that I like to live in fear
A minorAm
of a probable solution of why the devil put me here
A minorAm
and now no judgement call will kill me
A minorAm
just makes me close my eyes
FF
and I sink into the slumber to the prison of my mind
E MajorE
where I'd love to introduce you
E MajorE
if you found a way inside
A minorAm
you could sell me retribution and totally demystify
A minorAm
until i wonder how I got here
A minorAm
until I don't know who to be
FF
is it better to be grounded?
FF
is it better to be free?
E MajorE
am I better off without you?
E MajorE
am I happier alone?
A minorAm
