-VERSE-
                                         Am
Wake up in the morning you feel out of place

You're a disgrace
      Gm            Fsus4  C    F
Once more with resigna-----tion

                                        Am
The world won't appreciate greatness today

But there's bills to be paid
         Gm          Fsus4  C    Gm7
So you stumble to the sta-----tion

-PRE-CHORUS-
                                         C*
You're wearing your most imperceptible frown
                                              Gm7
These people are adjectives to your proper noun
                                                   C*
As you wash through the streets of this phony old town

It's wearing you down


-CHORUS-
                  F
And yet there you are
          C                           Dm
Standing out in your favourite blue dress
           Fsus4
Hair is a mess
             F
Nevertheless
     C         Dm  Fsus4
Cleopatra in Broo--klyn

-VERSE-
                                     Am
You casually shed poetry like your clothes

In neat little rows
         Gm          Fsus4  C    F
On the floor of my hotel    room

                                          Am
You'd always dreamed that you'd be a princess

But you'd accept less
         Gm                     Fsus4  C    Gm7
Holding court holed-up in your be-----droom


-PRE-CHORUS-
                                          C*
And I'd say I was Antony begging at your door
                                                   Gm7
But I know that you'd laugh and just ask me what for
                                             C*
And then just roll your eyes as I fell the floor

And swear that I'm yours


-CHORUS-
                  F
And yet there you are
          C                           Dm
Standing out in your favourite blue dress
           Fsus4
Hair is a mess
             F
Nevertheless
     C         Dm  Fsus4

A glittering star

Couldn't care less

Who do you impress
                         F
You're my thrift store princess

I'll come find you when the fates dessert you
