a little bottle in her purse

inside all the pretty trees

smashing every pane of glass

A augmentedA hammer through a window?s gleam
      D MajorD      G+G G7G7
filled the air with light

G+G    D MajorD    G+G
In the state asylum
    C majorC       G+G
the windows caged in bars

They soaked her in an ice-cold bath
       D MajorD    G+G G7G7
till she was seeing stars

PRE-CHORUS:
 C majorC           G+G
Wrapped up in her straitjacket
   C majorC         G+G
her mind still hammered on
      C majorC             G+G
Till the glass inside her smashed - Oh de lay ee ee

and she flew off into the trees

she couldn't help but see

inside all the pretty trees
