D
She's never alone,
A B
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
A D F# G A B
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
A
A half-hearted grin
D
She won't be afraid
A B
as long as that prescription keeps going through
A D F# G A Riff 1
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone
Riff 2
I use to learn from
D ,D/C# B
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 D/C#
And there's a place that no one knows about,
Riff 3
Away from integrity
B D Riff 4(Bridge)
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
D
Whatever you say,
A B
please don't talk about the time when she was young
A
Apparently that was a different person
D F# G A Riff 1 Riff 2
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
D D/C# B
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 D/C#
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
Riff 3
to herself as we watch he drown,
B D play interlude
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
D A
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
B A G
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick
D A
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
B / C# / D Riff 5
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down
