Melancholy Polly spills her guts on stage

D5D5        E minorEm     B minorBm    D5D5
She can't get her jollies any other way

C5C5       D5D5      G+G    D5* E5E5
Safe inside the music and the melody

A5A5              B5*     D5D5
Polly gets to lose it and no one can see


VERSE 2:

G*      E minorEm       B minorBm     D MajorD
She is not a starlet with a red guitar

G*      E minorEm      B minorBm     D MajorD
Just an easy target for a broken heart

C majorC      D MajorD       G+G     Em*
Peddling her story up there all alone

C majorC     D MajorD    G+G        Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
Is another allegory carved in stone

BRIDGE:

     FF
She would ransom her fate

    E MajorE
If she had some escape

But her words are a curse

Every rhyme every line and verse

G*       E minorEm        B minorBm     D MajorD
In front of the footlights Polly takes a bow

G*         E minorEm        B minorBm      D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Waves and says her goodnight to the drunken crowd

C majorC         D MajorD         G+G      Em*
When the house is clapping she knows what it means

C majorC       D MajorD        G+G     E minorEm B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Her life only happens for a song to sing
