She's never alone, 
              A                                     B 
because she's scared of what she might say to herself

Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in 
              A 
A half-hearted grin  
                   D 
She won't be afraid 
           A                             B 
as long as that prescription keeps going through

                 Riff 2   
I use to learn from 
              D ,D/C#     B

                 G(10th)
that there was a blue sky, 
         F#(9th) E(7th)
she left behind

      A                                
Apparently that was a different person 
D   F# G    A        Riff 1                   Riff 2 
and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history 
D                 D/C#       B  
But there's a past and she's telling everyone  
             G(10th)
It must be a garden,  
             F#(9th) E(7th)
that wouldn't grow
