B            E    G#m
. She never came from Miami F-L-A
A      B          E         G#m
. She never "found herself" like other girls, they say
A       B         E     C#m   F#m    B
. She had the kind of face you'd never even miss, invisible in bliss
  E       C#m     F#m      B
She couldn't understand why nobody felt like this
B            E         G#m
. She walked a mile in a faithless pair of heels
A     B       E        G#m
. Just to imagine how it looks and how it feels
A      B         E     C#m  F#m     B
. To be the kind of girl that everyone adored high upon a score board
E          C#m  F#m       B
Smiling through her teeth, wild as thunder underneath

A     E      B        E
High, high in the sky, out of reach of you and I
A       E      B
Witnessin' the days go by. Don't it make a poor girl cry?
A    E      B          E
Oh Lord, it's a sin, all this pain we're livin' in
A         E       B           E
Don't it make your poor head spin down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again
A    E
La la la la

B             E       G#m
. He never told himself ambition wasn't real
A        B           E      G#m
. He taught his eyes to think and his brain how to feel
A      B         E        C#m
. He got his wires crossed and couldn't raise a smile
   F#m       B
Made sense once in a while
E         C#m      F#m         B
Countin' down the days 'til his clothes came back in style
B            E         G#m
. He couldn't see how anythin' was right or wrong
A       B           E        G#m
. He knew the words and tune but he didn't know the song

A      B        E        C#m
. He spoke a language that he couldn't barely speak
  F#m       B
An out-of-date technique
  E         C#m        F#m     B
And though he was just blood and bone he always felt unique

A     E      B        E
High, high in the sky, out of reach of you and I
A       E      B
Witnessin' the days go by. Don't it make a poor girl cry?
A    E      B          E
Oh Lord, it's a sin, all this pain we're livin' in
A         E       B           E
Don't it make your poor head spin down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again
A    E | B   E  |
La la la la  . . . & 4

A    C#m    E   B F#m
Each and every last one in denial
A       C#m      E   B  F#m
Countin' every minute 'til it seems worthwhile
A     C#m       E  B  F#m
Draggin' behind them every last heartache
     A    C#m        E  B   F#m
Singin' "Jesus forgive me" for their own sweet sake
      G#m A        B C
In a fever .  . nothin' better . .
     C   D |E   | E |
When your soul's at stake

  A     E      B        E
And high, high in the sky, out of reach of you and I
A       E      B
Witnessing the days go by. Don't it make a poor girl cry?
A    E      B          E
. Lord, it's a sin, all this pain we're livin' in
A         E       B           E
Don't it make your poor head spin down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again
A    E B           E
La la la la down the road and back again

Charted by Dexex

I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not
intended to be taken as tabs which notate exactly how a song was played
