Intro
(x4)
G#
[Verse]
D# G#
She was a real royal lady, true patron of the arts
A#7 Cm G#
Said the best country singers die in the back of classic cars
D# G#
So if I ever got too hungry for a suitcase or guitar
D# A#7 D#
To think of them all alone in the dark
D# G#
So I laid some nights beside her in a bed made for a queen
A#7 Cm G#
She said I kissed her different, that all the men her age were mean
D# G#
Gave me anything I wanted, Oh the generosity
D# A#7 D#
I took all that I could, it was free
D# G#
Now the sky is a torn up denim and the clouds just splattered paint
A#7 Cm G#
It’s a room I’m renovating; it’s a name I gotta change
D# G#
If I get out of California I’m going back to my home state
D# A#7 D#
To tell them all that I made a mistake
[Chorus]
G#
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith
A#7
Lighting candles to a cynical saint
D# A#7 Cm G#
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape
A#7
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape
D# A#7 Cm G#
From the panicked paradox of day to day
D# A#7 Cm G#
If you can’t understand something then it’s best to be afraid
[Verse]
D# G#
The whole world it loves you if you’re a chic chameleon
A#7 Cm G#
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone
D# G#
But when conducting business she would lie about where she’s from
D# A#7 D#
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"
D# G#
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school
A#7 Cm G#
She’d talk forever about the phases of the moon
D# G#
Saying, "Everything is a cycle, you’ve got to let it come to you
D# A#7 D#
And when it does, you will know what to do"
D# G#
Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice
A#7 Cm G#
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye
D# G#
It’s not that often but I think of her sometimes
D# A#7 D#
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night
[Chorus]
G#
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
A#7
Turning circles in a memory maze
D# A#7 Cm G#
I made a new cast of the death mask that’s gonna cover my face
A#7
I had to change the combination to the safe
D# A#7 Cm G#
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait
A#7 D# Cm G#
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can’t break
