B
She could hear them fucking through
Those thin hotel walls
E
She heard babies crying,
She heard laughter, she heard sirens
B
Red and blue lights flashing
Through those cheap hotel drapes
E
Blood spilled out on the porcelain
F#
The bath tub's over-flowing
[Chorus]
Eadd9 F#
Paralytic states of dependency
B G#m
All waking life's just a living dream
Eadd9 F#
Agitated states of amazement
B G#m
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
B G#m
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
Eadd9 F# B E x2
[Verse 2]
B
Spread out faced down on those
Stained cheap hotel sheets
E
She spent the last years of her life
Running from the boy she used to be
B
Cut her face wide open
Shaved the bone down thin
E
Plumped her lips up exaggerated
F#
A fucked up kind of feminine
[Chorus]
Eadd9 F#
Paralytic states of dependency
B G#m
All waking life's just a living dream
Eadd9 F#
Agitated states of amazement
B G#m
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
B G#m
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
[Bridge]
Gadd9 A D Bm x2
[Verse 3]
D
Night time at the hotel there was fighting in the hall
G
Thin chain lock to keep the world out
She held her breath till it was gone
D
Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror
G
In her dysphoria's reflection
A
She still saw her mother's son
[Chorus]
Gadd9 D A
Paralytic states of dependency
Gadd9 D A
All waking life's just a living dream
Gadd9 D A
Agitated states of amazement
Gadd9 A
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
Gadd9 A
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be
[Outro]
Gadd9 A D Bm
By the time the ball dropped it was already over
Gadd9 A D Bm
By the time the ball dropped it was already over
Gadd9 A D
No resolutions for the new year beginning tomorrow
