D
She's never alone,
A B
because she's scared of what she might say to herself
A D F# G A B
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in
A
A half-hearted grin
D
She won't be afraid
A B
as long as that prescription keeps going through
A D F# G A Riff 1
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone
Riff 2
I use to learn from
D ,D/C# B
But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
G(10th fret)
that there was a blue sky,
F#(9th fret) E(7th fret)
she left behind
D D/C#
And there's a place that no one knows about,
Riff 3
Away from integrity
B D Riff 4(Bridge)
she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
D
Whatever you say,
A B
please don't talk about the time when she was young
A
Apparently that was a different person
D F# G A Riff 1 Riff 2
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
D D/C# B
But there's a past and she's telling everyone
G(10th fret)
It must be a garden,
F#(9th fret) E(7th fret)
that wouldn't grow
D D/C#
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
Riff 3
to herself as we watch he drown,
B D play interlude
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
D A
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
B A G
there is a selfish dream That makes me sick
D A
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
B / C# / D Riff 5
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down

Enjoy!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NO USE FOR A NAME tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
