[E] [A]
[F#m] [E]
[A]
[F#m] [E]
Thinking outrageously, [C#m] I write in [A] cursive, I hide in my bed [F#m] with the lights on the floor.
[E]
Wearing three [C#m] layers of coats and leg warmers, I [A] see my own breath [F#m] on the face of the door.
[E]
Oh, [C#m] I am not quite [A] sleeping.
Oh, [E] I am [F#m] fast in [E] bed.
There on the wall [C#m] in the bedroom, [A] creeping, I see a moss [F#m] with her wings [E] outstretched.

[B] [A]
[E] [A] [E]
North of Savannah [A] we swim in the phthalocytes, I come out wearing [F#m] my brother's red [E] hat.
There on his shoulder [A] my best friend is bit, seven times he runs, washing [F#m] his face in his [E] hands.
Oh, how I [A] meant to tease him.
Oh, [F#m] how I meant no harm.
[E]
Touching his back with my hand, I kiss [A] him.
I see the wasp [E] on the length of my [A] arm.
[E] From [F#m] [E] [B]
[A] [B] [A]
[E] [F#m] [E] [B]
[A] [B] [A] [E]
great sites of promise, [A] today [E] a new love comes, night after [A] night.
Great [E] I am, traveling in the mud, a teeter in the mud, a small safe house.
[A] Greatly [E] I came to travel in the thrill, neighbors in the crowd, a small safe [A] space, a strange [E] thing I did.
[B] [E]
[C#m] [E]
In the middle of the future [G#m] in the [E] dark, in the sky, [A] technically, even [E] if you're dead in the dark,
I'm a real girl, striped in shades, fluttering, [A] I'm a queen, [E] I'm a queen.
Throughout the world, I'm a queen, in the middle of the world, motionless, piercing, [A] I'm a queen, I'm a [E] queen.
I can't explain the state that I'm in, the state of [A] my heart, he was my [E] best friend.
Into the [B] car, [E] from the backseat, oh [A] admiration, and falling [E] asleep, all of [G#m] my powers, day [E] after day.
I [A] can tell you, we [E] swaggered and swayed, deep in [G#m] the tower, the prairies [E] below.
I [A] can tell you, the [C#m] telling gets [E] old, terrible [G#m] states, terrible [E]
storm.
I [A] can tell you, the [E] day we were born, my friend is gone, he ran away.
I [A] can tell you, I [E] love him each day, though he has part, wrestled and raged.
I can tell you, I love him each day, terrible state, terrible storm.
I can tell you, [Em] I'm a queen.
