[Verse 1]
B5 E5 D5
She took me in and fed me kindly
G5 A5
But who is this tramp sat in front of me?
B5 E5 D5
She smiled and said, "Jilly I be!"
G5 A5
Then she shouted her name into the street
B5 E5 B5 E5
I told her I was missing but she said, "Where have you been?
B5 E5 B5 E5
How can you lose a place, my friend, if it was never real?"
B5 E5 D5
I said I feel like I have fallen asleep
G5 A5
Like this is all just a part of a wicked dream
B5 E5 D5
When I wake up, you'll see what I mean
G5 A5
I'm not meant to be stuck in this poverty
B5 E5 B5 E5
She said, "I can see infinity glint in every gleam
B5 E5 B5 E5
You see the light as would a bug who can't pass through a screen!"

[Verse 2]
B5 E5 D5
I still think I'd like to leave
G5 A5
I'm soiled and my colleagues are waiting for me
B5 E5 D5
If I beg, they'll let me back in
G5 A5
Now would you kindly let me out of this bin?
B5 E5 B5 E5
She said, "Take you opportunities and shove them up your ear
B5 E5 B5 E5
Listen to the thunder, boy, it calls for you to hear!"
B5 E5 D5
Then, moldered in my suit and tie,
G5 A5
in the filth when I started to cry
B5 E5 D5
She knocked the glasses right off of my eyes
G5 A5
She is the stain that will never come dry!
A5 B5 E5
She said, "Scream at me, oh, stirring child
B5 E5 B5 E5
Scream your little scream; in the morning world
B5 E5
You are the only you who's ever been
B5 E5 B5 E5
There is another history behind the one you've seen
B5 E5 B5 E5
So weep until there's nothing left to weep and then be free!"
