[Eb]
[Bb] [F]
[C] Damn [Eb] life,
[Dm] damn [Cm] life,
[Bb] what's [Eb] it worth, [Dm] damn life, [Cm]
[F] getting [Ab] by [Eb] without [Dm] this city?
[D] [Db] It's just [Eb] self-pity, [C] damn life, [B]
[Bb] [Ab] you're just [Gm] not worth it, [Fm] you're [F] just not worth [Bb] [Ab] it.
[Ab]
[Eb] They eat you [Dm] alive, [Cm] they drink the sweat [Bb] from your brow, [Eb] eating [Bb] the [Cm] salt from the [Fm] lake,
the earth [Bb] you'll never [Eb] know, [Bb] [D] oh no, [G] respect, [Ab] [Fm] respect, [B] what's miss [Bb] Bell,
[Ab]
[Gm] God,
[F]
[Ab] [Bb] [Ab]
she
[Fm] was the [F] one who got left behind, she was the one who got lost,
[Ab] never to come in and find, it's just a visual at any cost, now [Fm] nothing can break this heart of mine,
[Bb] it stands invincible [Fm] all the time, now [Fm] it's get what you left [Bb] behind,
secret you shall [F] find, [F] secret you shall find, all [Gm] of them.

[Bb] [Eb] So [Dm] she's still [Dm] wandering [Cm] her heart [Bb] away, [Eb]
doesn't [Bb] even know [Cm] if it's night or [Bb] day,
[Eb] [Dm] and [D] even if [Eb] someone else, [C] she'd stand little hope [B] of [Eb] recognizing [Gm] those friends she [F] had,
and in [Bbm] many, [Bb] many ways those friends [Ab] were glad.
