Intro:  Em  G  D  A 
Em                   G
Did someone give you something
   D                 A
To help you ease the pain?
         Em            G
Like the liquor in the bottle
   D                A
We watched you slip away
      Em                G
And I feel as if I know you
            D         A
Through the bars of a song
Em        G           D
Always surrounded but alone
Chorus:
C          G
But no goodbyes
D             Em
You'll always be Miss America
C              G   D              Em
We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America
C          G         D         Em
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
C         G       D
Was it so hard to breathe?
        Em             G             D             A
Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognise?
        Em            G
Did the make up never make up
        D                A
For the pain behind your eyes?
      Em           G
And I feel as if I know you
            D            A
When you're on my silver screen
      Em                  G                  D
But I don't know the dark places that you've been
Chorus:
C          G
But no goodbyes
D             Em
You'll always be Miss America
C              G   D              Em
We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America
C          G         D         Em
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
C         G       D
Was it so hard to breathe?
Interlude:
C                                   G9           G
Does another voice sing in heaven's choir tonight
Em                       D4    D
To fill the silence left behind?
C                            G9       G
And I don't know what goes on in your mind
Em                              D4 D
I'm sure it's enough to make me cry
              C              D
Someday we'll find you lived forever
Chorus:
C          G
But no goodbyes
D             Em
You'll always be Miss America
C              G   D              Em
We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America
C          G         D         Em
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
C         G       D
Was it so hard to breathe?
