[Intro] D Aadd4 G D [Verse 1]
D
Maddie lived in west LA

Aadd4
Long brown hair with bangs that lay

G                                    D
Upon her brow, tanned lightly by the sun

D
Her sparkling eyes were crystal blue

     Aadd4
When she stared she'd see right through you

G                               D
Toy with your emotions just for fun
[Chorus]
C   G           D
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow

C           G             Em            A
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
[Verse 2]
    D
She worked down at the topless bar

Aadd4
Saved enough to buy a car

  G                         D
A rusty red forgotten Chevrolet

D                               Aadd4
Too many nights with nothing to show

 G                                   D
Counting tips while her frustration grows
[Chorus]
C   G          D
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow

C           G              D
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow

C           G             Em            A
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
[Solo] D Aadd4 D Aadd4 G D [Bridge]
Em            C                                  Em
Alone, now is there something wrong with me, she cried

  C                                  Em   Asus2 A Asus2 A
I feel like something deep inside me died
[Verse 3]
D
Maddie found another town

    Aadd4
But her past followed her around

   G                                D
Wherever she would run to there she was

D                               Aadd4
Baby, don't you leave me, baby, don't go

     G                         D
But streets are for deciding I suppose
[Chorus]
C    G           D
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow

C          G              D
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow

C          G              Em            A
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
[Outro]
D
The cycle starts it feels brand new

    Aadd4
But she's been here a time or two

G                                  D     D Aadd4 G D
Maddie can't be happy if she ain't free
