Bb Remember one Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll Bb/Ab Intended it as a cautionary tale Gm7 You said you saw yourself inside there Fsus4 Dog-eared it like a how-to manual Bb Remember one summer we walked in Times Square Bb/Ab I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares Gm7 You took a Bic, set your hotel on fire Fsus4 We took the blame, took the bags to the train

Bb When I said, Let me think, and you yelled through your teeth Bb/Ab Accused me of actin' like all royalty Gm7 Always for show, no true charity Fsus4 You saw me on magazines and TV Bb But if they only knew the real version of me Bb/Ab Only you know the secrets, the swamp, and the fear Gm7 What happened to blood, our family? Fsus4 Annie, how could you do this to me?
