Why didn't you come home?
Why?
Because [Gm] you're dead.
[B] [D]
[A] [Gm] Why?
Because [Bb] you're dead.
She walked into the room
like people tend to do
before [G] they show up.
[F]
[C] [Bb] She's only 22
and sick of people telling her
[G] to go out.
[Bb]
They just get more so when you leave.
You could easily find a hit
if you [G] only wanted to.
[F] [Bb]
You're such a pretty girl.
Lavender hair down [G] to your tongue,
rather.
[F]
[D] [Gm] She tried hard to get [E] that feeling.
[Gm] [G] It's so easy to be [E] blinded by.
Why?
[Gm] [G] Still she thought it [E] might be funny.
Why?
[Gm] Want some whiskey before [E] she dies.
[Bb] Now.
She [Gm] doesn't know [B] how to.
[Bb] Like every [A] other girl,
alone in her little [Gm] [B] world.
You can't [D] hold it in
[Gm] without
standing up about [Bb] time.
And if you should,
that's even if you [Gm] were.
[A] [G]
[D] [D] [Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] if nobody
knows how to love her,
know that [G] you're everywhere.
[F]
[Bb] She'd lose someone in her life
and if that's a sad one,
that's [C] all we want to know.
[E]
[Bb] She's the air in the open
for everyone to see.
[G] Too proud to ask for [Bb] anybody's help.
She had the revelation,
sheer amount of work that [G] it would take
to be like [D] everybody else.
[Gm] [A] She didn't [E] want them anywhere.
[E] [G] She's no devil [E] and she trusts.
[Gm] [G] She just [E] said through daiquiri
[Gm] that she wasn't easily [Dm] convinced.
[Gm] [B] But who were you [E] fooling anyway?
[Gm] Should've guessed, [E] should've known.
[Gm] Doesn't [E] matter what they said.
[Gm] Some people like to [E] be alone.
[A] But
she [Gm] doesn't know [A] how to.
[E]
Like [A] every other girl,
alone in her little [Gm] world.
[A] [Dm] You can't [D] hold it [Gm] in
[Bb] without
standing [Gm] up [B] about time.
[D] You [A] are
missing and you [Gm] are mine.
[E]
[A]
[B] [D]
[A] [Gm]
[Bb]
[A]
[Gm] [Bb] You can't hold it in without standing up about time.
You are missing and you are mine.
[G] [Bb]
[D] You [Eb] can't hold it in without standing up about time.
[Dm] [G]
