G Am C
She says she’s always had a tired heart,
G Am C
and any day now it could fall apart
G D Am C
I want to hold her now but I just don’t know how to start
She says she’s always been kind of shy,
like she’s been watching her own life pass by
She says she’s sick and tired of trying to find a reason why
Em D Bm C
Come on baby take that step with me through the open door
Em D Bm C
I think that’s the daylight we’re seeing not a lightning storm
G D Bm C
I know it sounds like a smiley face cliche when you’re down, exposed and raw
Am D Am C
But it’s got to be worth at least one try to get up off the floor
She says she knows the theory in her head
But in her gut she feels the clench of dread
And no matter how she tries she still feels captured by some fear unsaid
I know I’m really not the one to talk
I’m not one who’s often walked the walk
But I keep on hoping we can jump before we get caught
Chorus
Chorus
But I fear I sound like someone making money teaching how to win
I want to tell her bein’ scared’s no sin
Nothin she’s done deserves the pain she’s in
But it sounds a bit like something said by someone with a thoughtless grin
Reason will not stand
Lost and friendless in a foreign land
She says she hears the madness in her words
She prays one day her pain will seem absurd
But here and now each path she starts to take is dark and blurred
G Am C
She says she’s always had a tired heart,
G Am C
and any day now it could fall apart
G D Am C
I want to hold up her but I just don’t know how to start
Chorus
Bridge
She says she hears
The madness in her words
She hopes one day
That all the pain will seem absurd
But here and now
Reason will not stand
Lost in the night in a friendless foreign land
She says she feels she sees her friends all frown
Says she feels they feel she’s let them down
But sometimes it’s easier to be lonely than to be a clown / to
that together we might break the lock??
in her heart she she’s trapped in fear and dread
And in her mind she feels the stab of shame for each tear shed
up off the floor
down there on the floor/
But let me tell you baby I’ve been way down there myself before
I read it in a book by by someone who sounded self assured
bought brought caught debauch fought fort fraught haunch jaunt launch nought port wrought wart raunch sought sort torch taunt taught thought v
