[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Dm We are the queens of sorrow and we are what we rehearse G7 C We clean our conscience daily for our evils to disperse Am And our dresses don't have pockets and our hands carry no purse F G7 C We know that with possession comes the curse
[Verse 2]
C Dm We aren't afraid of losing and we aren't afraid of dying G7 C Our shoes do not have laces so we don't waste time in tying Am And if we aren't incredible, it's not for want of trying F G C You'll only hear us giggling, never crying
[Chorus]
F G We are queens of sorrow C Wear our crown, be our friend F G C Know that no tomorrow is the end F G On and on you echo C Am To the farthest, wildest wall Dm G C Yes, the light and dark surround us all
[Interlude]
C D G C
Am F G C
[Verse 3]
C Dm Why then queens of sorrow and not monarchs of joy? G7 C Why celebrate the sadness of every man and boy? F Here we'll tell you privately the methods we employ F G C We vaccinate with hardship and destroy
[Verse 4]
C Dm Destroy the thought that sadness is a stultifying force G C Or that fear or madness could be a qualifying horse Am In the race for true fulfillment in life's wild and winding course F G C A light in every corner we endorse
[Chorus]
F G We are queens of sorrow C Wear our crown, be our friend F G C Know that no tomorrow is the end F G On and on you echo C Am To the farthest, wildest wall G7 C Yes, the light and dark surround us all
[Outro]
