I saw Eleanor

Standing in the kitchen

Eyes falling through the floor
E
Eyes like a wishing well
A
I think she wanted more
From kitchen floors

Eleanor, Eleanor
B
What were you waiting for?
C#m
Some kind of miracle?
F# B
Oh, Eleanor
Were you just terrified?
E
Of that truth that you might find
[Verse 2]
A
I know Eleanor (Eleanor, Eleanor)

She curses like a poet, so what is she silent for? (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)
Oh, why don't you fight it?

Maybe things got too loud (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)
E
Maybe she's just too proud
[Chorus]

[Outro]
E
So come on now, Eleanor
I swear to God you wanted more
B
Didn't you say life was boring?
Didn't you used to sing glory?
E
Come on, oh, Eleanor
The world was knockin' at your door
B
And you just stood on your kitchen floor
You just stood there, Eleanor
E
What's next, not the sound of war
The glory you once say for
B
Come on, oh, Eleanor
B
What were you waiting for?
