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