Mad Childs Lament

G G Charcoal lines tracing time C Background of a sketchbook life G D C Hides inside the prison of her mind G Rainbow hair and vibrant lips C The devil twists her fingertips G D C Scorns the angel's kiss she left behind Am D She catches all the swirling colors from the afterglow Am D And paints herself into a corner then she calls it home Am D She says when we're together that we're better off alone G D Em But then she draws the lines and calls me to her bed Am D And a sea of satin thread Am D where the truth is left u nsaid C D G Yes, I think I made you up inside my head

G Razor tongue, a warm embrace C Shades of guilt across her face G D C Vanishes without a trace again G She lies awake and talks to ghosts C Whispers secrets through the smoke G D C Cause all she ever wanted was a friend Am D She dances with the shadows of the lovers from her past Am D She drags her pawns along the lonely chessboard made of glass Am D She runs away from everything cause nothing good can last G D Em And then she shuts her eyes and all the world drops dead Am D And the tears were finely shed Am D on a canvas washed in red C D G Yes, I think I made you up inside my head C Am G Winter weaves its cloak of frozen gray C Am G Spring has never seemed so far away C D Em Am You know how to hurt me so more than anyone I know C D G Bruised and broken hoping you will stay Am D You opened up a window and you blindly closed the door Am D Now everything is hollow where the silent lions roar Am D There's nothing in here moving, I can't feel you anymore G D Em I should have tried to catch a comet's tail instead Am D Cause I may have been misled Am D by the image I was fed C D Em Yes, I think I made you up inside my head C D G Should have tried to catch a comet's tail instead C D G Should have tried to catch a comet's tail instead
