Tom: A
Introdução:
D
She's never alone,
A Bm
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
A D F# Bm A G
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
A
A half-hearted grin
D
She won't be afraid
A Bm
as long as that prescription keeps going through
A D F# Bm A G
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone
A F#
I use to learn from
Bm G
But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
D
that there was a blue sky,
A F#
she left behind
Bm G
And there's a place that no one knows about,
F#
Away from integrity
G A
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
D
Whatever you say,
A Bm
please don't talk about the time when she was young
A
Apparently that was a different person
D F# Bm A G A F#
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
Bm A G
But there's a past and she's telling everyone
D
It must be a garden,
A F#
that wouldn't grow
Bm G
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
F#
to herself as we watch he drown,
G A
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
D F#
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
Bm A G
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick
D A
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
Bm A G
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down
