Intro
(x4)
D
[Verse]
A D
She was a real royal lady, true patron of the arts
E7 F#m 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 E7 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
E7 F#m 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 E7 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
E7 F#m 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 E7 A
To tell them all that I made a mistake
[Chorus]
D
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith
E7
Lighting candles to a cynical saint
A E7 F#m D
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape
E7
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape
A E7 F#m D
From the panicked paradox of day to day
A E7 F#m 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
E7 F#m D
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone
A D
But when conducting business she would lie about where she’s from
A E7 A
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"
A D
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school
E7 F#m 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 E7 A
And when it does, you will know what to do"
A D
Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice
E7 F#m D
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye
A D
It’s not that often but I think of her sometimes
A E7 A
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night
[Chorus]
D
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
E7
Turning circles in a memory maze
A E7 F#m D
I made a new cast of the death mask that’s gonna cover my face
E7
I had to change the combination to the safe
A E7 F#m D
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait
E7 A F#m D
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can’t break
