Intro: E, F#m, E, F#m
Verse 1:
E
Trouble doll, you look so pretty when you're sad
F#m
And the laughs that we had have turned to madness
E
Lovers come to call and you're voice gets soft
F#m
In the painted glass behind your lashes
A
Though angels pray for you
F#m
Only the blues could save you
Verse 2:
E
If only for a second in the shimmering light
F#m
When the night's collapsed, but it don't shatter or sting
E
It's a porcelain song from marionette in a dangerous sway
F#m
As if under God's own strings
A
Salvation watches over you
F#m
Redemption only borrows you
(B)
A little at a time in this world
Chorus:
F#m A E F#m
Real gone, real gone girl.
Verse 3:
E
Standin' high above on that bridge in St. Charles
F#m
Tell the truth, love, whose death did you see?
E
All the art on the wall and the quiet down the hall
F#m
Send a sinking feeling to a different story
A
My lonesome prays for you
F#m
In hours when there's only you
Verse 4:
E
Well the ghost of a drink on the counter by the sink
F#m
Is smeared, warm and full of empty promises
E
It's a well-worn poem where the words stick together
But the meaning seems numb,
F#m
'Til the morning washes
A
All down and over you
F#m
Heartache sure owes you
(B)
All the happiness in this world
Chorus:
F#m A E F#m E F#m
Real gone, real gone girl.
Outro:
E (Repeated with F#m)
Sha la la a little light
