Ab2 Abmaj7/Db

Ab2          Abmaj/Db
Maybe I've lost it at last
Ab2         Abmaj7/Db
Maybe my last lucid moment has passed
  BbM7Bbm7            Eb7sus
I'm dancing with death, I suppose
  Db9/F       Eb9/G
But really, who knows?

Ab2          Abmaj7/Db
Could be I'm crazy to go
   Fm7Fm7
They say you should stay
     BbmBbm   Ab/Bb Ab5/Bb BbmBbm
With the devil you know
     Fb6Fb6     FbFb+  Fbmaj7
But when life needs a change
     Fb6Fb6    Cb2 Cbsus Cb2
And the one devil won't
  BbM7Bbm7         Eb7sus Db2
You fly to the devil you don't
Eb7sus Db9/F Eb9/G

AbAb     Abmaj7Abmaj7   Db9Db9 DbDb
Maybe I'm tired of the game
  AbAb     Abmaj7Abmaj7   Db9Db9      DbDb
Of coming up short of the rules, of the shame
  BbM7Bbm7           Eb MajorEb
And maybe you feel that way too
  Db9/F     Eb9/G
I see me in you

 AbAb      Eb MajorEb    Db9Db9 Eb9Eb9
A augmentedA girl full of anger and hope
 F minorFm      Fm9Fm9  F minorFm   BbmBbm    Bbm9Bbm9 Ab5/Bb BbmBbm
A augmentedA girl with a mother who just couldn't cope
  Bbm7/Fb   Bbm9/Fb       Bbm7/Fb   Cb9Cb9
A augmentedA girl who felt caught and thought no one could see
  BbM7Bbm7   Eb7sus     AbAb BbM7Bbm7 Ab/C
But maybe one day she'll be free
    Eb7Eb7         Db9Db9
It's so lovely that you're sharing
  Eb7Eb7       Db9Db9
No, really, I'm all ears
  Eb7Eb7        Db9Db9    AbAb
But where has all this caring been
       Eb/GEb/G Db9/F
For sixteen years?
  Eb7Eb7         Db9Db9
For all those years I'd prayed that
   Eb7Eb7     Db9/F
You'd go away for good
Absus      AbAb      AbAb     Ab/G
Half the time afraid that you really would
    Absus/Gb       Ab/Gb
When I thought you might be dying
      Absus/F    Fm7Fm7
I cried for all we'd never be
  Fbmaj13          Fb6Fb6
But there'll be no more crying
    BbM7Bbm7
Not for me

Ab/C      Db9Db9      Ab9/Eb
Things will get better you'll see
     BbM7Bbm7 Ab/C
(Not for me)
    Db9Db9 Ab9/Eb
You'll see
     BbM7Bbm7 Ab/C
(Not for me)
    Db9Db9
You'll see (Not for me)
    Ab9/Eb
You'll see (Not for me)
    Db9/F Eb9/G
You'll see...

AbAb    AbMaj9Abmaj9   Db9Db9 DbDb
Maybe we can't be okay
  Fm7Fm7             FbFb   Fbmaj7 Fb6/Eb
But maybe we're tough and we'll try anyway
    Fb/Eb      Fbmaj7/Eb Fb6/Eb
We'll live with what's real
   Db9Db9
Let go of what's past
  BbM7Bbm7          Eb7sus Db9/F
And maybe I'll see you at last

Eb7sus Db9/F x2

    Eb7sus Db9/F   Db9Db9
I don't need a life that's normal
    Eb7sus Db9/F Db9Db9
That's way too far a-way
  Absus       AbAb     Absus/G Ab/G
But something next to normal would be okay
   Absus/Gb      Ab/Gb
Yeah, something next to normal
      Fm7Fm7    Db/F  Fm7Fm7
That's the thing I'd like to try
Fbmaj13            Eb7sus Db9/F
Close enough to normal to get by
     Eb7sus Db9/F
We'll get by
     Eb7sus Db9/F
We'll get by
