VERSE 1                     (Section 1)
********                     00:20
D             G           Electric Guitar
Nothing that`s forced can ever be right     [-----------]
   D            G         [-----------]
If it doesn`t come naturally, leave it      [-----------]
D              G          [-5-4-2-----]
That`s what she said as she turned out the light [-------0-5-]
    Bm        F#           [-----------]
And we bent our backs as slaves of the night
  G
she lowered her guard showed me the scars
  D    A     Bm
She got from trying to fight
    G  A        D      G  D  G
Saying oh,   you`d better believe it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
D               G
Well I`m up to my neck in the crumbling wreckage
  D           G
Of all that I wanted from life           (Section 1)
D                G
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect
     Bm           F#
Though I swallowed the lign as a sign of the times
  G
But dealing a jack from the back of the pack
     D   A    Bm
They said   `You lose again`
G  A       D
Oh,   I said, who needs it

CHORUS
*******
F#
Well don`t get me wrong now I tried to get on
     Bm     A     G
With the jokers that got in my way
                           D
And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight
     F#
But they just wanted more all the time and I`m sure
     Bm     A      G
That you know what I mean when I say
                              A
That I`m sick of the touch and there`s only so much you can take.

VERSE 3
********
D              G
Well nothing that`s real is ever for free
    D            G
And you just have to pay for it sometime     (Section 1)
  D          G
She said it before, she said it to me
 Bm               F#
I suppose she believed there was nothing to see
    G
But the same old four imaginary walls
  D     A   Bm
She built for living inside
    G  A         D
I said oh,   you just can`t mean it

CHORUS
*******
F#
Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out
    Bm      A      G
she was just looking around for a way
                         D
In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more
    F#
She was out on a limb, she was reaching for things
     Bm      A      G
That she wanted, but just couldn`t say
                             A
And she had to be sure that she wouldn`t get caught like before.

D               G
Well nothing that`s forced can ever be right
    D            G
If it doesn`t come naturally, leave it      (Section 1)
D              G
That`s what she said as she turned out the light
  Bm                F#
And she may have been wrong, and she may have been right
   G
But I woke with the frost, and noticed she`d lost
  D     A      Bm
The veil that covered her eyes
    G  A      D
I said oh,   you can leave it.
