Intro
(x4)
A
[Verse]
E A
She was a real royal lady, true patron of the arts
B7 C#m A
Said the best country singers die in the back of classic cars
E A
So if I ever got too hungry for a suitcase or guitar
E B7 E
To think of them all alone in the dark
E A
So I laid some nights beside her in a bed made for a queen
B7 C#m A
She said I kissed her different, that all the men her age were mean
E A
Gave me anything I wanted, Oh the generosity
E B7 E
I took all that I could, it was free
E A
Now the sky is a torn up denim and the clouds just splattered paint
B7 C#m A
It’s a room I’m renovating; it’s a name I gotta change
E A
If I get out of California I’m going back to my home state
E B7 E
To tell them all that I made a mistake
[Chorus]
A
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith
B7
Lighting candles to a cynical saint
E B7 C#m A
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape
B7
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape
E B7 C#m A
From the panicked paradox of day to day
E B7 C#m A
If you can’t understand something then it’s best to be afraid
[Verse]
E A
The whole world it loves you if you’re a chic chameleon
B7 C#m A
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone
E A
But when conducting business she would lie about where she’s from
E B7 E
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"
E A
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school
B7 C#m A
She’d talk forever about the phases of the moon
E A
Saying, "Everything is a cycle, you’ve got to let it come to you
E B7 E
And when it does, you will know what to do"
E A
Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice
B7 C#m A
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye
E A
It’s not that often but I think of her sometimes
E B7 E
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night
[Chorus]
A
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
B7
Turning circles in a memory maze
E B7 C#m A
I made a new cast of the death mask that’s gonna cover my face
B7
I had to change the combination to the safe
E B7 C#m A
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait
B7 E C#m A
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can’t break
