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