[Verse 1]
D
    I knew a girl who said that beauty kills,
E/D
    Dulled the pain with wine and pills,
G                                    G6   D            Dsus2
    Took that slow ride down the hill--  ...to nowhere,
      D
She said, 'Pompeii crumbled, and Athens fell,
E/D
    Heathens stormed the citadel,
G                                             D                 D4  D
    A girl like me ain't got a chance in hell  ...against ?em!'

G                     D                         Dsus2

[Verse 2]
D                                   E/D
   Rained three days, when we awoke ...sun came out and the levee broke,
G                                         D            Dsus2
   Like some cruel and cosmic joke God?s   ...playing,
D                                  E/D                                E4/D
   I don't pretend that I believe,     I know there ain't no guaran - tees,
G                                      D                 D4  D
   Still morning finds me on my knees   ...and praying!


[Chorus]
D          Am                              Am7
    Oh---,  ...pretty things----,

[Verse 3]
D
      Come the flood, you build an ark,
E/D
      Come the night, you curse the dark,
G                                     D               Dsus2
   Inside your broken heart you bear  ...the crosses,
D                               E/D
   Some of us have got it made,      some of us have more than paid,
G                                         D              D4  D
   We're all marching in this slow parade ...of losses!
