[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D G
She was a real royal lady true patron of the arts
A7 Bm G
She 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
[Verse Break]

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
D G
Now the sky's 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 1]
G
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith
A
Lighting candles to a cynical saint
D A Bm G
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape
A
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape
D A F# Bm G
From the panicked paradox of day to day
A
If you can't understand something then it's best to be afraid
[Chorus Break]

[Verse 4]
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"

[Verse 5]
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's a cycle you got to let it come to you
D A7 D
And when it does you will know what to do"

[Verse 6]
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 2]
G
And they keep moving at a glacial pace
A
Turning circles in a memory maze
D A Bm G
I made a new cast of the death mask that's gonna cover my face
A
I had to change the combination to the safe
D A F# Bm G
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait
A
And never trust a heart that's so bent it can't break
[Chorus Break]
