133211 X35553 XX3565 XX5553 [Intro] N.C [Verse 1] N.C A smile for every passing car and when they stop with door ajar, N.C She shrugs and whispers `que sera` and turns her thoughts to the pillow, N.C Her face is etched with memories she finds no joy amid the sleaze, N.C It`s hard when you`ve been paid to please so she turns her head to the pillow. [Chorus 1]
    F
Daylight comes she rests her head,

F
The beauty of an empty bed,

F
She dreams of happy days instead,

                  C
Of brooding on tomorrow.
[Verse 2]
C
She swapped her dreams of shining knights for pushers bars and money fights,

C
For nameless faces in red light so she turns her head to the pillow,

C
Those black eyes they don`t hurt no more she`s heard the jokes and jibes before,

C
She`s felt the long arm of the law so she turns her head to the pillow.
[Chorus 2]
    F
Daylight comes she rests her head,

F
The beauty of an empty bed,

F
She dreams of happy days instead,

                  C
Of brooding on tomorrow.
[Verse 3]
C
Taking drugs was not for fun it made her feel like going on,

C
But know she hurts when it`s all gone and she turns her head to the pillow,
N.C She takes a blade and breaks her skin sweet life source flows from within, N.C The white clouds in her head grow dim and she turns her face to the pillow. [Chorus 3]
    F
Sunlight creeps across her bed,

F
Pale beauty in a crimson bed,

F
No dreams of happy days ahead she`ll have no more,
N.C Tomorrows. [Outro] N.C for 38-40 bars then.
C
[Till Fade]
