[Intro]
Eadd9 F# B E x4
[Verse 1]
B
She could hear them fucking throughThose thin hotel walls
E
She heard babies crying,She heard laughter, she heard sirens
B
Red and blue lights flashingThrough those cheap hotel drapes
E Blood spilled out on the porcelain F# The bath tub's over-flowing
[Chorus]
Eadd9 F# Paralytic states of dependency B G#m All waking life's just a living dream Eadd9 F# Agitated states of amazement B G#m Never quite the woman that she wanted to be B G#m Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
Eadd9 F# B E x2
[Verse 2]
B
Spread out faced down on thoseStained cheap hotel sheets
E
She spent the last years of her lifeRunning from the boy she used to be
B
Cut her face wide openShaved the bone down thin
E Plumped her lips up exaggerated F# A fucked up kind of feminine
[Chorus]
Eadd9 F# Paralytic states of dependency B G#m All waking life's just a living dream Eadd9 F# Agitated states of amazement B G#m Never quite the woman that she wanted to be B G#m Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
[Bridge]
Gadd9 A D Bm x2
[Verse 3]
D Night time at the hotel there was fighting in the hall G Thin chain lock to keep the world out
She held her breath till it was gone
D Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror G In her dysphoria's reflection A She still saw her mother's son
[Chorus]
Gadd9 D A Paralytic states of dependency Gadd9 D A All waking life's just a living dream Gadd9 D A Agitated states of amazement Gadd9 A Never quite the woman that she wanted to be Gadd9 A Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
[Outro]
Gadd9 A D Bm By the time the ball dropped it was already over Gadd9 A D Bm By the time the ball dropped it was already over Gadd9 A D No resolutions for the new year beginning tomorrow
