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