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