This just got real

they will pile and stack

She often wouldn't feel well and her friends said go to bed

  Dm              Am                      Dm           G7
They would never understand this was a sickness of the head

The journey makes her sad (she'll only start a war)

But there is not an ounce of good in things that send you to the grave
