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

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