Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When you show up like that,

what am I supposed to say?

Takes a while for the bruises to heal.

Oh you've got to escape,

before it's too late.

Children of the garden

tangled in danger

playing the smile,

and suffering... suffering alone

I’m daring a battle with a bastard

who's killing us slowly

Sleepless commotion

Sleepless commotion

Well he slashed the water bed

and he slashed all her clothes

smashed all the crystal

and broke the windows

Sleepless commotion

Sleepless commotion

Police won't arrive,

and I've hidden the scotch.

Oh that's made matters worse.

Now he's laughing at us.

Children of the garden

tangled in danger

playing the smile,

and suffering... suffering alone

I'm praying for daybreak

I'm praying for peace

I'm praying for freedom

I'm praying she'll leave him...

And all I can do is

protect while I’m here now.

I won't go too far

I have nothing to fear.

Except when I am not here...

Now it's over,

the night won't return.

a phone call in search of her soul

I left her alone.

Why'd I leave her alone?

In sleepless commotion,

Sleepless commotion...

Children of the garden

tangled in danger

playing the smile,

and suffering... suffering alone
