Marika Hackman – Paper Crown (Guitar)

Em     B           G            Am            B   B7
How he tried to be kind for the guests at his table

        Em           B             G
But the snow and the depths of his mind

         Am       B    B7
Left him cold and unable

      Em       B7          Em          C
So he took his coat and he grabbed his keys

     G           F
And drove, going nowhere it seems

       Em       B7             Em      C               G
By the flashing lights and the hoarish trees dressed in gold

B        Em
Run from green

       Em           B        G
To the house on the end of a street

       Am         B    B7
With a door and a window

       Em         B           G
And he sat in the car, on his seat

       Am                  B  B7
And he watched through the snow

        Em       B7          Em      C          G
"At the perfect fall, what a perfect scene", he thought

          F
She looks happy it seems

       Em    B7             Em        C   G    B         Em
With a paper crown, she's a Christmas queen, a Christmas queen

      Em              B           G            Am            B    B7
"It's left," said the girl at the car, but the queen did not notice

        Em            B          G
And she turned to the man on her arm

         Am             B  B7
"Is this all that there is?"

        Em      B7            Em           C
And she cut her mouth and the words poured out

    G               F
She cried, "I'm not happy inside"

        Em          B7           Em       C   G
And she grabbed her coat and she took her keys

  B               Em
