[Intro] G [Verse 1]
         D                     G
She was a real royal lady true patron of the arts

            A7                               Bm              G
She said the best country singers die in the back of classic cars

        D                         G
So if I ever got too hungry for a suitcase or guitar

            D          A7         D
To think of them all alone in the dark

[Verse 2]
     D                                G
So I laid some nights beside her in a bed made for a queen

A7                                           Bm              G
She said I kissed her different that all the men her age were mean

        D                        G
Gave me anything I wanted oh the generosity

       D          A7           D
I took all that I could it was free

[Verse 3]
        D                             G
Now the sky's a torn up denim and the clouds just splattered paint

       A7                         Bm           G
It's a room I'm renovating it's a name I gotta change

         D                           G
If I get out of California I'm going back to my home state

             D          A7        D
To tell them all that I made a mistake
[Chorus 1]
                            G
And I keep looking for that blindfold faith

                      A
Lighting candles to a cynical saint

              D                 A                  Bm         G
Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape

        A
You can go right out of your mind trying to escape

         D        A   F#     Bm     G
From the panicked paradox of day to day

                  A
If you can't understand something then it's best to be afraid
[Chorus Break]

[Verse 4]
D                                        G
The whole world it loves you if you're a chic chameleon

A7                             Bm               G
Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone

         D                             G
But when conducting business she would lie about where she's from

        D              A7            D
Saying "Life is how it is not how it was"

[Verse 5]
D                             G
I learned to listen felt like I was back at school

A7                           Bm            G
She'd talk forever about the phases of the moon

        D                               G
Saying "Everything's a cycle you got to let it come to you

            D             A7           D
And when it does you will know what to do"

[Verse 6]
D                              G
Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice

A7                                 Bm           G
Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye

D                         G
It's not that often but I think of her sometimes

               D               A7           D
Just something quaint a couple ships in the night
[Chorus 2]
                          G
And they keep moving at a glacial pace

                     A
Turning circles in a memory maze

         D               A                       Bm       G
I made a new cast of the death mask that's gonna cover my face

         A
I had to change the combination to the safe

        D     A      F#       Bm     G
Hide it all behind a wall let people wait

          A
And never trust a heart that's so bent it can't break
[Chorus Break]
