[Verse 1]
E5 A5 G5
She took me in and fed me kindly
C5 D5
But who is this tramp sat in front of me?
E5 A5 G5
She smiled and said, "Jilly I be!"
C5 D5
Then she shouted her name into the street
E5 A5 E5 A5
I told her I was missing but she said, "Where have you been?
E5 A5 E5 A5
How can you lose a place, my friend, if it was never real?"
E5 A5 G5
I said I feel like I have fallen asleep
C5 D5
Like this is all just a part of a wicked dream
E5 A5 G5
When I wake up, you'll see what I mean
C5 D5
I'm not meant to be stuck in this poverty
E5 A5 E5 A5
She said, "I can see infinity glint in every gleam
E5 A5 E5 A5
You see the light as would a bug who can't pass through a screen!"
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
E5 A5 G5
I still think I'd like to leave
C5 D5
I'm soiled and my colleagues are waiting for me
E5 A5 G5
If I beg, they'll let me back in
C5 D5
Now would you kindly let me out of this bin?
E5 A5 E5 A5
She said, "Take you opportunities and shove them up your ear
E5 A5 E5 A5
Listen to the thunder, boy, it calls for you to hear!"
E5 A5 G5
Then, moldered in my suit and tie,
C5 D5
in the filth when I started to cry
E5 A5 G5
She knocked the glasses right off of my eyes
C5 D5
She is the stain that will never come dry!
D5 E5 A5
She said, "Scream at me, oh, stirring child
E5 A5 E5 A5
Scream your little scream; in the morning world
E5 A5
You are the only you who's ever been
E5 A5 E5 A5
There is another history behind the one you've seen
E5 A5 E5 A5
So weep until there's nothing left to weep and then be free!"
[Chorus]
