Let Me Down

                 D
She's never alone,
              A                 
because she's scared of what she 
                   Bm
might say to herself
       A                           
Always drinking in the backroom of 
    D   F#    Bm    A        G
the bar where everyone turns in
              A
A half-hearted grin
                   D
She won't be afraid
           A                       
as long as that prescription keeps 
      Bm
going through
            A                   
And all the happy pills make her 
           D   F#    Bm      
look like cardboard cut out of 
 A   G
someone
               A    F#
I use to learn from
            Bm                 
But on the phone, she's telling 
 G
everyone,
                 D
that there was a blue sky,
         A      F#
she left behind

             Bm                
And there's a place that no one 
 G
knows about,
          F#
Away from integrity
             G                     
she writes a book in her head that 
A
nobody will read

( D A Bm A G )

                D
Whatever you say,
             A                  
please don't talk about the time 
              Bm
when she was young
      A
Apparently that was a different 
person
D   F# Bm    A       G        
and so long ago it's strange 
                 A       F#
to me, there's no history
              Bm  A               
But there's a past and she's 
   G
telling everyone
             D
It must be a garden,
              A    F#
that wouldn't grow
              Bm                   
With roots of shame, too sensitive 
  G
to blame
            F#
to herself as we watch he drown,
                 G              
I can't save the queen without a 
 A
kingdom or a crown

( D A Bm A G ) (2x)

D                                
Somewhere in this lonely game of 
F#
sympathy
           Bm             A       
there is a selfish dream That 
      G
makes me sick
D                             
Standing on the high wire while 
         A
you're on the ground
               Bm       A         
To you what is dangerous  is safe 
  G         Gm
and sound...

You let me down

Final: D A Bm A G D A Bm A G A D
