The Mistress

Am - F - E - Am

Am
hello it's me the mistress
Am
is there anybody home?
F
cuz the last place I should be is 
sittin' here alone
E
all I ask for is forgiveness
E
if you've got some give it here
Am
you don't act much like you need it
Am
you don't look much like you care
Am
and will you need me in the summer?
Am
will you need me in the spring?
F
I believe my life is ending I don't 
know where to begin
E
I've got a page in my back pocket of
 the seven deadly sins
Am
and its dragging me around among the
 needles and the pins
Am
and I dont need to take a breather
Am
I'm on the outside looking out
Am
yeah, I don't need to see your 
papers
F
cuz I know what you're about
E
you had me by the bible and you had 
me by the belt
Am
and you had me from the instant my 
cold love began to melt
Am
and then you praise me for my 
inspiration
Am
asked me for an explanation

Am
followed up with hesitation
F
fit my primal expectation
E
I don't care but I don't mind
E
you can call me any time
Am
you can holler through the fortress
Am
and kick me out of line
Am
I don't expect it from the grief 
that gathers in my head
F
I like suspended disbelief
F
I like to spend the day in bed
E
I like to spend the nights in heaven
E
hanging with the dead
Am
you know, Judas and his women and 
the voices in my head
Am
I've got my eyes upon the mirror
Am
I've got my hands up in the air
F
I confess to my distress yeah, I 
great crazier each year
E
you know I'd change it if I could 
you know I like to say that I would
Am
but there's a war between the parts 
of me
Am
the evil and the good
Am
and you try and stop me i'm on fire
Am
it doesn't look that way
F
you know, I used to be a liar
F
but living's set me straight
E
I don't come with no disclaimer I'm 
like everybody else
Am
we keep our demons on the burner and
 our morals on the shelf
Am
and nobody asks for my opinion 
because you dont want to hear
F
I swear I'm only human wishing I 
could disappear
E
and you must think its an illusion 
that I like to live in fear
Am
of a probable solution of why the 
devil put me here
Am
and now no judgement call will kill 
me
Am
just makes me close my eyes
F
and I sink into the slumber to the 
prison of my mind
E
where I'd love to introduce you
E
if you found a way inside
Am
you could sell me retribution and 
totally demystify
Am
until i wonder how I got here
Am
until I don't know who to be
F
is it better to be grounded?
F
is it better to be free?
E
am I better off without you?
E
am I happier alone?
Am
hello, its me the mistress, could 
you please pick up the phone?
