Look what you started
             F                G
I seem to be coming out of my skin

Look what you've forgotten here
             F                  G
The bandages just don't keep me in

                C
And when it was over
           F     G
I woke up alone

And when it was over

I woke up alone

And you can dance with the queen if

 you need

And she will always keep your cards

Close to her heart oooh
