Standard (EADGBE)

  She's never alone,

  because she's scared of what she might say to herself

  Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where

  everyone turns in

  A half-hearted grin

  She won't be afraid

  as long as that prescription keeps going through

  And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard

  cut out of someone,

  I use to learn from

  But on the phone, she's telling everyone,

  that there was a blue sky, she left behind

  And there's a place that no one knows about,

  Away from integrity she writes a book in her head that nobody will read

  Whatever you say,

  please don't talk about the time when she was young

  Apparently that was a different person and so

  long ago it's strange to me,

  there's no history

  But there's a past and she's telling everyone

  It must be a garden, that wouldn't grow

  With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame

  herself as we watch he drown, I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown

(some solo stuff)

  Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy

  there is a selfish dream

  That makes me sick

  Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground

  To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...

You let me down
