_ _ _ _ Now look here, in the house opposite, black gateposts with a concrete frog squatting on
top of it.
_ Through the hallway, _ ancient wallpaper, _ nicotine gold, up the stairs, rickety, loaded
with history.
Here, in the top flat, flowers on the windowsill, little breeze fluttering
the petals as they stare out at the city streets.
_ _ Gemma is awake.
What woke her?
Open eyes,
streetlights float slowly through broken blinds.
She watches as the light plays across the
tattered carpet.
She holds herself tight in the room's half darkness.
It's cold.
She wedges
her hands underneath her armpits.
_ It's 4.18 _ and Gemma's thinking, _ _ _ _ before I was an adult,
I was a little wreck, peddling whatever I could get my grubby mitts [Cm] on.
Ketamine for
breakfast, [C#] bad girls for [C] drinking with.
I gave them puppy dog eyes, put an acid on their
fingertips.
Heads in the basement, lips without faces, getting feisty.
Half-baked in the bakery,
eating pastries.
Desperate for a body who could save me, but I never really wanted what they
gave me.
Always wanted something else, sweating in the [Cm] dole queue, spitting like a villain in
the pantomime.
Old shoes, bad [C] teeth, drinking in the rain with my ghost.
Sitting in the back of
the class, comatose.
Villains on my back in the dark, hold me close, but you never [Cm] held.
I did
some things I swore [F#] I'd never tell.
That night you tried to [Cm] kill me, run me down with your car in
the snow.
I didn't realize before [D] you would go.
Every day I [Cm] live lives in the day I wake up,
and my dreams are all [Gm] screaming of fuck, [Dm] but I'm fine now.
Something [Cm] remains, it's still pulling
me.
Yeah, [C] my future is bright, but my past trying to ruin [Cm] me.
Try to change it, but I know if you're
good to me, I will let you go.
Try [C] to fight it, but I'm sure if you're bad for me, I will let you
[Dm] go.
I did some things when I was young that made [G#] me who I would become.
I feel them with me every day,
cause if you try and run away, they run beside you place for place.
Trip you up and drag your
face through the mud of every way.
Take a chance in every bit to take.
Heart is sprayed up with
the names of all my friends who lost their way.
Doesn't change, it all remains.
It takes my
strength and gives me shame.
All I want [C] is someone great to make me everything I ain't,
but the only ones for me are the ones that shouldn't [C#] be.
Even though I'm doing good,
I'm working hard, my work is strong.
Might be fun just for a while to go back where my hurt is from.
Drinks myself to emptiness and push my body closed to anybody who can recognize the presence of my
[Cm] ghost.
Try to change it, but I know if you're good to me, I will let you go.
Try to fight it, but I'm
sure if you're bad for me, I will [F#] let you go.
Try [Cm] to change it, but I know if you're good to me, I will let you [C] go.
Try to fight it, but I'm sure if you're bad to me, I will let you go. _ _
