[Intro] G [Verse 1]

She was a^D real royal lady true ^Gpatron of the arts She said the^A7 best country singers die in the ^Bmback of classic ^Gcars So if I ^Dever got too hungry for a ^Gsuitcase or guitar To think of ^Dthem all al^A7one in the ^Ddark

So I ^Dlaid some nights beside her in a ^Gbed made for a queen ^A7She said I kissed her different that all the ^Bmmen her age were^G mean Gave me ^Danything I wanted oh the ^Ggenerosity I took ^Dall that I ^A7could it was ^Dfree

Now the ^Dsky's a torn up denim and the ^Gclouds just splattered paint It's a ^A7room I'm renovating it's a ^Bmname I gotta ^Gchange If I get ^Dout of California I'm going ^Gback to my home state To tell them ^Dall that I ^A7made a mis^Dtake

[Chorus 1]

And I keep looking for that ^Gblindfold faith Lighting candles to a ^Acynical saint Who wants the ^Dlast laugh at the ^Afly trapped in the ^Bmwindowsill ^Gtape You can ^Ago right out of your mind trying to escape From the ^Dpanicked ^Apara^F#dox of ^Bmday to ^Gday If you can't under^Astand something then it's best to be afraid

^DThe whole world it loves you if you're a ^Gchic chameleon ^A7Intersecting circles she could ^Bmhang with anyone ^G But when ^Dconducting business she would ^Glie about where she's from Saying "^DLife is how it ^A7is not how it ^Dwas"

^DI learned to listen felt like ^GI was back at school ^A7She'd talk forever about the ^Bmphases of the ^Gmoon Saying "^DEverything's a cycle you got to ^Glet it come to you And when it ^Ddoes you will ^A7know what to ^Ddo"

^DWithout even knowing I guess I ^Gtook up her advice ^A7Painted her front door it seemed a ^Bmsuitable good^Gbye ^DIt's not that often but I ^Gthink of her sometimes Just something ^Dquaint a couple ^A7ships in the ^Dnight

[Chorus 2]

And they keep moving at a ^Gglacial pace Turning circles in a ^Amemory maze I made a ^Dnew cast of the ^Adeath mask that's gonna ^Bmcover my ^Gface I had to ^Achange the combination to the safe Hide it ^Dall be^Ahind a ^F#wall let ^Bmpeople ^Gwait And never ^Atrust a heart that's so bent it can't break
