[Verse 1]
G5 C5 A#5
She took me in and fed me kindly
D#5 F5
But who is this tramp sat in front of me?
G5 C5 A#5
She smiled and said, "Jilly I be!"
D#5 F5
Then she shouted her name into the street
G5 C5 G5 C5
I told her I was missing but she said, "Where have you been?
G5 C5 G5 C5
How can you lose a place, my friend, if it was never real?"
G5 C5 A#5
I said I feel like I have fallen asleep
D#5 F5
Like this is all just a part of a wicked dream
G5 C5 A#5
When I wake up, you'll see what I mean
D#5 F5
I'm not meant to be stuck in this poverty
G5 C5 G5 C5
She said, "I can see infinity glint in every gleam
G5 C5 G5 C5
You see the light as would a bug who can't pass through a screen!"
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
G5 C5 A#5
I still think I'd like to leave
D#5 F5
I'm soiled and my colleagues are waiting for me
G5 C5 A#5
If I beg, they'll let me back in
D#5 F5
Now would you kindly let me out of this bin?
G5 C5 G5 C5
She said, "Take you opportunities and shove them up your ear
G5 C5 G5 C5
Listen to the thunder, boy, it calls for you to hear!"
G5 C5 A#5
Then, moldered in my suit and tie,
D#5 F5
in the filth when I started to cry
G5 C5 A#5
She knocked the glasses right off of my eyes
D#5 F5
She is the stain that will never come dry!
F5 G5 C5
She said, "Scream at me, oh, stirring child
G5 C5 G5 C5
Scream your little scream; in the morning world
G5 C5
You are the only you who's ever been
G5 C5 G5 C5
There is another history behind the one you've seen
G5 C5 G5 C5
So weep until there's nothing left to weep and then be free!"
