Rick Springfield – In Veronicas Head (Guitar)

C#m E         B               A          C#m  E      B       A
He lifted her face up off the pillow and said, "Baby such is life"

C#m         E          B        A               C#m  E
And then he pushed his suitcase out through the door.

                B            A
"It'll give 'em something to talk about."

C#m      E      B        A
The door slammed, left a scar.

C#m      E                B              A
She'd be damned she could see her in his car.

C#m         E                B          A
So much for marriage and the good, good wife

E                 G#m      C#m
But in Veronica's head the wheels were burning,

D                  E
Turning out of frustration,

           G#m C#m                            D
Veronica's bed mocked every private thing she said to the bastard.

C#m E             B            A        C#m
She died her hair black in the bathroom mirror

E             B             A
He'd liked it blonde on his wife.

C#m       E   B           A          C#m E
An act of independence, a small victory.

            B            A
Hey, it was something to shout about

C#m      E    B       A
Cause at night, she'd crack,

C#m            E              B               A
She'd feel his strong fingers raking down her back.

C#m           E          B                A
She'd wake up angry, but turned on like a light,

E                 G#m      C#m
But in Veronica's head the wheels were burning,

D                  E
Turning out of frustration,

         G#m   C#m                    D
Veronica said, she would never be the same.

    E                 G#m       C#m
No. But in Veronica's head, the fields were burning

D                    E
Burning down the destruction.

    A           D     E
She turns around he's there

                       A        D
confusing her with his promises,

                  E
and crying on the telephone.

                   A
She twists and she turns in circles,

     D                        E
with all of her strength, she breaks free.

                            A    D
She stumbles and she nearly falls.

E                 G#m      C#m
But in Veronica's head the wheels were burning,

D                  E
Turning out of frustration,

         G#m   C#m                    D
Veronica said, she would never be the same.

    E                 G#m       C#m
No. But in Veronica's head, the fields were burning

D                    E
Burning down the destruction.

E             G#m      C#m                          D                      E
In Veronica's bed, she lies there listening late at night to her heartbeat.

    A                   D
The wheels are turning.

E                          A                  D E
And in Veronica's head the fields are burning.

    A                  D E
The wheels are turning.

    A                  D E A D E A D
The fields are burning
