[Verse 1]
Ab
  She spent her nights
Bb                   Cm
  next to years of deception
    Bb       Bb
And he sees a  girl to him
      Ab               Bb
fifty summers ago And again
                   Cm  Bb
his hands tearing apart
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Eb
  Sometimes I felt that when
    Bb
the grass was always greener
        Ab
And the sadness in the sun
                Cm Bb Eb
can turn it blue        Take a
                 Bb
swing up to the sky And never
                  Ab
watch it pass you by The
                        Gm F Eb
carpets rolling out for you
 
 
[Verse 2]
Gm           F
You hold the reins and
        Eb          Bb
I still have control
    F
And I don't know what
Ab             Eb     Cm Bb F Ab Bb
I would do without you
 
 
[Chorus 2/Outro]
Cm        Bb           Cm
  Another room another face
            Bb    F       Cm
I smell the anger in this place
            Bb            F   Ab Eb
And I'm not hanging to survive
Cm              Bb
  My chair sits high the ceiling
   Cm                  Bb
is low There's nowhere else for
F     Cm                Bb
me to go I'll rot right here
          F   Ab Eb Cm Bb F F Ab Eb Eb Cm F Bb Bb
until the day I  die
