                 D MajorD
She's never alone,
              A augmentedA                                     BB
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
       A augmentedA                               D MajorD   F#F#    G+G    A augmentedA        BB
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
              A augmentedA
A augmentedA half-hearted grin
                   D MajorD
She won't be afraid
           A augmentedA                             BB
as long as that prescription keeps going through
            A augmentedA                              D MajorD   F#F#    G+G       A augmentedA  Riff 1
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone
                 Riff 2
I use to learn from
              D MajorD ,D/C#     BB
But on the phone,   she's telling everyone,
                 G(10th fret)
that there was a blue sky,
         F#(9th fret) E(7th fret)
she left behind
             D MajorD                  D/C#
And there's a place that no one knows about,
         Riff 3
Away from integrity
             BB                D MajorD                     Riff 4(Bridge)
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
                D MajorD
Whatever you say,
             A augmentedA                                BB
please don't talk about the time when she was young
      A augmentedA
Apparently that was a different person
D MajorD   F#F# G+G    A augmentedA        Riff 1                   Riff 2
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
D MajorD                 D/C#       BB
But there's a past and she's telling everyone
             G(10th fret)
It must be a garden,
             F#(9th fret) E(7th fret)
that wouldn't grow
              D MajorD                    D/C#
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
                 Riff 3
to herself as we watch he drown,
                 BB               D MajorD                 play interlude
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown

D MajorD                                A augmentedA
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
           BB             A augmentedA             G+G
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick
D MajorD                                      A augmentedA
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
               BB    /   C#C#    /       D MajorD     Riff 5
To you what is dangerous  is safe and sound...

You let me down
