Am Dm G Am................
Am Dm G Am................
[Verse 1]
Am..At the clinic wondering what your face would be like
DmMascara bleeding to my eyes
G AmTied like a dog on a chain with a midlife crisis and an ex husband
Am Dm..Sneaking a Marlboro Ultra Light I stole from a nurse out there in the alley
G AmHalfway home is where the heart is and I'm halfway home
Am Dm..White trash, trailer trash, they said you'd always be it
And you said, 'one day you'll see.'
G AmBut lately you start to wonder if they were right
Am..Spit on you at school outside
DmIn the locker room and bathroom too
GLocked you in the stall
AmBless this mess, can I bum a light?
[Verse 2]
Am Dm..The cars out on the LA Freeway they look like red and light Christmas lights strung out on a chain
G AmThe ex virgin Mary of 49th street has a pocket full of pills
Am Dm..She sold herself for synthetic heroin and sleeping with a man about twice her age
G AmReally though it was anything but sleeping
Am Dm..Nice neighbors,...bad cough
G Am..No health insurance this year, transitional neighborhood
Am Dm..Gentrification comes like it always does and some nice condos they Go in
G AmBut the needles in the alley they're still laying there
Am..Don't Go barefoot or take a nap out there
DmWear shoes if you have um
GUndercover methadone clinic
AmChildren close your eyes
[Verse 3]
Am Dm..Say a lullaby and think of a nursery rhyme
Or maybe something your mama used to tell you when you were trying to sleep
G AmJill fell down when the bow breaks oh the cradle will fall
AmDown will come baby, down will come baby, down will come baby
Dm..Put out the cigarette
G Am..Just make a decision Lydia, just make a decision
It's yours
[Interlude]
Am Dm G Am................
Am Dm G Am................
[Verse 4]
Am..Close your eyes and make a wish
DmHear the whisper of God
GHe used to talk like you, you used to see his face in the clouds
AmNow I see your face in my mind
Am..It's wrong for him to want it
DmBless this mess, brush your hair
G AmFix yourself up real nice you've got a show tonight
[Verse 5]
Am Dm..Singing down at the Broken Bottle, half waiting shifts
G AmGet the guys a couple of beers, Go on get the food, living off tips and meth
Am Dm..Then I came home after dancin' one night...
G AmAnd I wrecked my car and you have to take the bus now so you've got a long walk to think about it
Am..A long walk to the station
Dm G..A long life ahead to live with yourself
AmSo think about it Lydia
G Am..Think about it Lydia
G Am.........
