[Intro]

Am    Dm    G    Am
Am    Dm    G    Am
 
 
[Verse]

Am
At the clinic wondering what 

your face would be like
    Dm
Mascara bleeding to my eyes
 G                         
Tied like a dog on a chain, 
         Am
midlife crisis and an ex husband
 
 Am
Sneaking a Marlboro Ultra Light
                        
I stole from a nurse out  
              Dm
there in the alley
 G
Halfway home is where the heart is
         Am
And I'm halfway home
 
 
[Verse]

 Am                        
White trash, trailer trash, 
                 Dm
they said you'd always be it
 
And you said, 'one day you'll see'
     G                          
And lately you start to wonder if 
       Am
maybe they were right
 
 Am
Spit on you at school outside
        Dm
In the locker room and bathroom too
 G
Locked you in the stall
 
Bless this mess,
      Am
Can I bum a light?
 
 
[Verse]

     Am                                      
The cars out on the 

LA Freeway they look like 
         Dm
red and light Christmas lights
 
Strung out on a chain
    G                                  
The ex Virgin Mary of 

49th street has a 
 Am
pocket full of pills
 
     Am                               
She sold herself for synthetic heroin 
             Dm
and started sleeping with a 

man about twice her age
 G                                 Am
Really though it was anything but sleeping
 
 
[Verse]

 Am           Dm
Nice neighbors, bad cough
G                            
No health insurance this year,     
     Am
transitional neighborhood 
 Am                                        
Gentrification comes 

like it always does and 
      Dm
some nice condos they go in
         G                   
But the needles in the alley 
               Am
they're still laying there 
 
 Am
Don't go barefoot or take a

 nap out there
 Dm
Wear shoes if you have um
 G
Undercover methadone clinic
          Am
Children close your eyes
 
 
[Verse]

 Am
Say a lullaby and think of a

 nursery rhyme
Dm
Or maybe something your 

mama used to tell you 

when you were trying to sleep
 G                                
Jill fell down when the bow breaks 
        Am
oh the cradle will fall
 
 Am
Down will come baby, 

down will come baby, 

down will come baby
 Dm
Just put out the cigarette
 G                         
Just make a decision Lydia, 
     Am
just make a decision
 
It's yours
 
 
[Instrumental]

Am    Dm    G    Am
Am    Dm    G    Am
 
 
[Verse]

 Am
Close your eyes and make a wish
          Dm
Hear the whisper of God
            G
He used to talk like you, 

you used to 

see his face in the clouds
                Am
Now I see your face in my mind
 
      Am
It's wrong for him to want it
 Dm
Bless this mess, brush your hair
 G                       
Fix yourself up real nice 
              Am
you've got a show tonight
 
 
[Verse]

 Am                              
Singing down at the Broken Bottle,  
      Dm
half waiting shifts
         G                                        
Get the guys a couple of beers, 

go on get the food, 
 Am
living off tips and meth
 Am
Then I came home after dancin' one night
Dm                      
And I wrecked my car and 
                      G
you have to take the bus now
                 Am
So you've got a long walk to 

think about it
 
                        Dm
Long walk to the station
                    G
Long life ahead to live with yourself
                   Am   G
So think about it Lydia
                   Am    G   Am
So think about it Lydia
