[D]
My mother's brother said you were a man who knew the arts, girl
My mother's brother said you were a man who knew the arts
[A] Is it true what you [D] hear?
Did it turn out to be
Was it day or night?
When the child was to show
Was it rage or shame?
The damage to be said
Something was to say but it was
[A] Did she [D] pay the price?
For making her twice
In a glimpse of paradise
For a dollar that she left
[A] She passed [D] that by
Dead with a lie
Scorn and haunt
And then you stand
A creep to a fall
Did she really know?
A love to a [G] fraud
Yes we all [C] believe her
Sensations to a bed
No better than she [D] should be
Unfaithful to her [G] lover
We always knew [D] she would be
[A] She [D] said I never had a chance
To prove them wrong
My time was short
The story long
No I never had a chance
To prove them wrong
It's always them
That write the [A]
song
[D]
Did he got your crown?
Was the suitcase half a pound?
Please come this warming world
Don't you feel already [A] cold?
Did you leave them [D] to dance?
Did you run away to France?
She'd been a salary [A] for a day was all
She was bound [D] to lose
If she said the things to choose
They never could excuse her
To soothe their fears
She was marched to beyond
The earth would start to [G] call
You could hear the voices
[A] Calling out her name
She [D] said I never had a [G] chance
To prove them [D] wrong
My time was short
The story long
No I never had a chance
To prove them wrong
It's always [G] them
That write [D] the song
No I never had a chance
To prove them wrong
My time was short
The story long
No I never had a chance
To prove them wrong
It's always them
That [A] write the song
