Capo at 2nd fret
[Intro] (x4)
G
[Verse]
D G
She was a real royal lady, true patron of the arts
A7 Bm G
Said the best country singers die in the back of classic cars
D G
So if I ever got too hungry for a suitcase or guitar
D A7 D
To think of them all alone in the dark
D G
So I laid some nights beside her in a bed made for a queen
A7 Bm G
She said I kissed her different, that all the men her age were mean
D G
Gave me anything I wanted, Oh the generosity
D A7 D
I took all that I could, it was free
D G
Now the sky is a torn up denim and the clouds just splattered paint
A7 Bm G
It’s a room I’m renovating; it’s a name I gotta change
D G
If I get out of California I’m going back to my home state
D A7 D
To tell them all that I made a mistake
[Chorus]
G
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith
A7
Lighting candles to a cynical saint
D A7 Bm G
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape
A7
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape
D A7 Bm G
From the panicked paradox of day to day
D A7 Bm G
If you can’t understand something then it’s best to be afraid
[Verse]
D G
The whole world it loves you if you’re a chic chameleon
A7 Bm G
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone
D G
But when conducting business she would lie about where she’s from
D A7 D
Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was"
D G
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school
A7 Bm G
She’d talk forever about the phases of the moon
D G
Saying, "Everything is a cycle, you’ve got to let it come to you
D A7 D
And when it does, you will know what to do"
D G
Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice
A7 Bm G
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye
D G
It’s not that often but I think of her sometimes
D A7 D
Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night
[Chorus]
G
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
A7
Turning circles in a memory maze
D A7 Bm G
I made a new cast of the death mask that’s gonna cover my face
A7
I had to change the combination to the safe
D A7 Bm G
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait
A7 D Bm G
And never trust a heart that is so bent it can’t break
