IntroEF#BG#Verse 1B
She could hear them fucking through
Those thin hotel walls
E
She heard babies crying,
She heard laughter, she heard sirens
B
Red and blue lights flashing
Through those cheap hotel drapes
E
Blood spilled out on the porcelain
F#
The bath tub's over-flowing
ChorusEF#
Paralytic states of dependency
BG#
All waking life's just a living dream
EF#
Agitated states of amazement
BG#
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
BG#
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
EF#BG#Verse 2B
Spread out faced down on those
Stained cheap hotel sheets
E
She spent the last years of her life
Running from the boy she used to be
B
Cut her face wide open
Shaved the bone down thin
E
Plumped her lips up exaggerated
F#A fucked up kind of feminine
ChorusEF#
Paralytic states of dependency
BG#
All waking life's just a living dream
EF#
Agitated states of amazement
BG#
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
BG#
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
GADBD
Night time at the hotel there was fighting in the hall
G
Thin chain lock to keep the world out
She held her breath till it was gone
D
Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror
G
In her dysphoria's reflection
A
She still saw her mother's son
ChorusGDA
Paralytic states of dependency

All waking life's just a living dream

Agitated states of amazement
GA
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be

Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
