[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
