[Intro] N.C [Verse 1]

^N.CA smile for every passing car and when they stop with door ajar, ^N.CShe shrugs and whispers `que sera` and turns her thoughts to the pillow, ^N.CHer face is etched with memories she finds no joy amid the sleaze, ^N.CIt`s hard when you`ve been paid to please so she turns her head to the pillow.

[Chorus 1]

Dayl^Fight comes she rests her head, ^FThe beauty of an empty bed, ^FShe dreams of happy days instead, Of brooding on tom^Corrow.

[Verse 2]

^CShe swapped her dreams of shining knights for pushers bars and money fights, ^CFor nameless faces in red light so she turns her head to the pillow, ^CThose black eyes they don`t hurt no more she`s heard the jokes and jibes before, ^CShe`s felt the long arm of the law so she turns her head to the pillow.

[Chorus 2]

Dayl^Fight comes she rests her head, ^FThe beauty of an empty bed, ^FShe dreams of happy days instead, Of brooding on tom^Corrow.

[Verse 3]

^CTaking drugs was not for fun it made her feel like going on, ^CBut know she hurts when it`s all gone and she turns her head to the pillow, ^N.CShe takes a blade and breaks her skin sweet life source flows from within, ^N.CThe white clouds in her head grow dim and she turns her face to the pillow.

[Chorus 3]

Sunl^Fight creeps across her bed, ^FPale beauty in a crimson bed, ^FNo dreams of happy days ahead she`ll have no more, ^N.CTomorrows.

[Outro] N.C for 38-40 bars then.
