[Bb] She's waiting on [Am] the bedside wrapped within [C] the static wind.
She's [F] got powders and pills, [Am] chasing thrills through dollar bills, tracing [Bb] lines off her
[Am] reflection with her [Bb] senses [C] so distilled.
As she [Dm] drifts on through [C] this dream, she [F] can share her [E] medication, but [Dm] she can't outrun

we stand, [Bb] with candy [F] in our hands.
