Intro

C
[Verse]
G C
She was a real royal lady, true patron of the arts
D7 Em 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 D7 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
D7 Em 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 D7 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
D7 Em 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 D7 G
To tell them all that I made a mistake
[Chorus]
C
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith
D7
Lighting candles to a cynical saint
G D7 Em C
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape
D7
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape
G D7 Em C
From the panicked paradox of day to day
G D7 Em 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
D7 Em C
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone
G C
But when conducting business she would lie about where she’s from
G D7 G
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"
G C
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school
D7 Em 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 D7 G
And when it does, you will know what to do"
G C
Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice
D7 Em C
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye
G C
It’s not that often but I think of her sometimes
G D7 G
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night
[Chorus]
C
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
D7
Turning circles in a memory maze
G D7 Em C
I made a new cast of the death mask that’s gonna cover my face
D7
I had to change the combination to the safe
G D7 Em C
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait
D7 G Em C
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can’t break
