Verse 1:
G minorGm
 At the clinic wondering what your face would be like
  C minorCm
Mascara bleeding to my eyes
 C majorC                     G minorGm
Tied like a dog on a chain with a midlife crisis and an ex husband
G minorGm                                    C minorCm
 Sneaking a Marlboro Ultra Light I stole from a nurse out there in the alley
 C majorC                     G minorGm
Halfway home is where the heart is and I'm halfway home
G minorGm                       C minorCm
 White trash, trailer trash, they said you'd always be it

And you said, 'one day you'll see.'
   C majorC                    G minorGm
But lately you start to wonder if they were right
G minorGm
 Spit on you at school outside
            C minorCm
In the locker room and bathroom too
 C majorC
Locked you in the stall
               G minorGm
Bless this mess, can I bum a light?

Verse 2:
G minorGm                            C minorCm
 The cars out on the LA Freeway they look like red and light Christmas lights strung out on a chain
  C majorC                  G minorGm
The ex virgin Mary of 49th street has a pocket full of pills
G minorGm                      C minorCm
 She sold herself for synthetic heroin and sleeping with a man about twice her age
 C majorC                 G minorGm
Really though it was anything but sleeping
G minorGm        C minorCm
 Nice neighbors, bad cough
C majorC                   G minorGm
 No health insurance this year, transitional neighborhood
G minorGm                          C minorCm
 Gentrification comes like it always does and some nice condos they Go in
     C majorC                 G minorGm
But the needles in the alley they're still laying there
G minorGm
 Don't Go barefoot or take a nap out there
    C minorCm
Wear shoes if you have um
 C majorC
Undercover methadone clinic
     G minorGm
Children close your eyes

Verse 3:
G minorGm                    C minorCm
 Say a lullaby and think of a nursery rhyme

Or maybe something your mama used to tell you when you were trying to sleep
 C majorC                     G minorGm
Jill fell down when the bow breaks oh the cradle will fall
 G minorGm
Down will come baby, down will come baby, down will come baby
C minorCm
 Put out the cigarette
C majorC                  G minorGm
 Just make a decision Lydia, just make a decision

It's yours

Verse 4:
G minorGm
 Close your eyes and make a wish
      C minorCm
Hear the whisper of God
      C majorC
He used to talk like you, you used to see his face in the clouds
        G minorGm
Now I see your face in my mind
G minorGm
 It's wrong for him to want it
 C minorCm
Bless this mess, brush your hair
 C majorC                   G minorGm
Fix yourself up real nice you've got a show tonight

Verse 5:
G minorGm                         C minorCm
 Singing down at the Broken Bottle, half waiting shifts
     C majorC                         G minorGm
Get the guys a couple of beers
Go on get the food, living off tips and meth
G minorGm                    C minorCm
 Then I came home after dancin' one night
                        C majorC            G minorGm
And I wrecked my car and you have to take the bus now so you've got a long walk to think about it
G minorGm
 A augmentedA long walk to the station
C minorCm           C majorC
 A augmentedA long life ahead to live with yourself
          G minorGm
So think about it Lydia
C majorC         G minorGm
 Think about it Lydia
C majorC  G minorGm
