Ab2                    Abmaj/Db
Maybe I've lost it at last
Ab2                  Abmaj7/Db
Maybe my last lucid moment has passed
   Bbm7                       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
     Fm7
They say you should stay
          Bbm      Ab/Bb  Ab5/Bb  Bbm
With the devil you know
          Fb6          Fb+   Fbmaj7
But when life needs a change
         Fb6       Cb2  Cbsus Cb2
And the one devil won't
    Bbm7                 Eb7sus Db2
You fly to the devil you don't
Eb7sus Db9/F Eb9/G

Ab         Abmaj7      Db9  Db
Maybe I'm tired of the game
   Ab          Abmaj7      Db9           Db
Of coming up short of the rules, of the shame
    Bbm7                     Eb
And maybe you feel that way too
   Db9/F         Eb9/G
I see me in you

  Ab            Eb        Db9  Eb9
A girl full of anger and hope
  Fm           Fm9   Fm      Bbm       Bbm9  Ab5/Bb  Bbm
A girl with a mother who just couldn't cope
    Bbm7/Fb     Bbm9/Fb             Bbm7/Fb      Cb9
A girl who felt caught and thought no one could see
    Bbm7      Eb7sus          Ab Bbm7 Ab/C
But maybe one day she'll be free
        Eb7                  Db9
It's so lovely that you're sharing
    Eb7              Db9
No, really, I'm all ears
    Eb7                Db9        Ab
But where has all this caring been
             Eb/G  Db9/F
For sixteen years?
    Eb7                 Db9
For all those years I'd prayed that
      Eb7         Db9/F
You'd go away for good
Absus            Ab           Ab          Ab/G
Half the time afraid that you really would
       Absus/Gb              Ab/Gb
When I thought you might be dying
            Absus/F        Fm7
I cried for all we'd never be
    Fbmaj13                   Fb6
But there'll be no more crying
        Bbm7
Not for me

Ab/C            Db9           Ab9/Eb
Things will get better you'll see
         Bbm7  Ab/C
(Not for me)
       Db9  Ab9/Eb
You'll see
         Bbm7  Ab/C
(Not for me)
       Db9
You'll see (Not for me)
       Ab9/Eb
You'll see (Not for me)
       Db9/F  Eb9/G
You'll see...


Ab       Abmaj9     Db9 Db
Maybe we can't be okay
    Fm7                          Fb     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
     Db9
Let go of what's past
    Bbm7                   Eb7sus  Db9/F
And maybe I'll see you at last

Eb7sus Db9/F  x2

        Eb7sus  Db9/F      Db9
I don't need a life that's normal
       Eb7sus  Db9/F  Db9
That's way too far a-way
    Absus              Ab          Absus/G  Ab/G
But something next to normal would be okay
      Absus/Gb           Ab/Gb
Yeah, something next to normal
           Fm7       Db/F    Fm7
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
