Intro
(x4)
D#
[Verse]
A# D#
She was a real royal lady, true patron of the arts
F7 Gm D#
Said the best country singers die in the back of classic cars
A# D#
So if I ever got too hungry for a suitcase or guitar
A# F7 A#
To think of them all alone in the dark
A# D#
So I laid some nights beside her in a bed made for a queen
F7 Gm D#
She said I kissed her different, that all the men her age were mean
A# D#
Gave me anything I wanted, Oh the generosity
A# F7 A#
I took all that I could, it was free
A# D#
Now the sky is a torn up denim and the clouds just splattered paint
F7 Gm D#
It’s a room I’m renovating; it’s a name I gotta change
A# D#
If I get out of California I’m going back to my home state
A# F7 A#
To tell them all that I made a mistake
[Chorus]
D#
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith
F7
Lighting candles to a cynical saint
A# F7 Gm D#
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape
F7
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape
A# F7 Gm D#
From the panicked paradox of day to day
A# F7 Gm D#
If you can’t understand something then it’s best to be afraid
[Verse]
A# D#
The whole world it loves you if you’re a chic chameleon
F7 Gm D#
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone
A# D#
But when conducting business she would lie about where she’s from
A# F7 A#
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"
A# D#
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school
F7 Gm D#
She’d talk forever about the phases of the moon
A# D#
Saying, "Everything is a cycle, you’ve got to let it come to you
A# F7 A#
And when it does, you will know what to do"
A# D#
Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice
F7 Gm D#
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye
A# D#
It’s not that often but I think of her sometimes
A# F7 A#
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night
[Chorus]
D#
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
F7
Turning circles in a memory maze
A# F7 Gm D#
I made a new cast of the death mask that’s gonna cover my face
F7
I had to change the combination to the safe
A# F7 Gm D#
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait
F7 A# Gm D#
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can’t break
