         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 majorA 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
