Verse 1
Bm
Bm
At the clinic, wonderin' what your face
would be like
Em
Em
Mascara bleedin' to my eyes
A
A
Tied like a dog on a chain with a mid
Bm
Bm
life crisis and an ex husband
Sneaking a Marlboro Ultra Light I stole
Em
Em
from a nurse out there in the alley
A
A
Halfway home is where the heart
Bm
Bm
is and I'm halfway home
Verse 2
Bm
Bm
White trash, trailer trash,
Em
Em
they said you'd always be it
And you said, "One day you'll see"
A
A
But lately, you start to wonder
Bm
Bm
if maybe they were right
Spit on you at school outside
Em
Em
And n the locker room and
in the bathroom too
A
A
Locked you in the stall
Bm
Bm
Bless this mess, can I bum a light?
Verse 3
Bm
Bm
The cars out on the L.A. freeway
Em
Em
They look like red and white Christmas
lights strung out on a chain
A
A
The ex virgin Mary of 49th street has
Bm
Bm
a pocket full of pills
She sold herself for synthetic heroin and
Em
Em
sleepin' with a man twice her age
A
A
Really though it was anything
Bm
Bm
but sleepin'
Verse 4
Bm
Bm
Em
Em
A
A
Nice neighbors, bad cough
No health insurance this year,
Bm
Bm
transitional neighborhood
Gentrification comes like it always does
Em
Em
and some nice condos, they go in
A
A
But the needles in the alley
Bm
Bm
they're still layin' there
Don't go barefoot or take
a nap out there
Em
Em
Wear shoes if you have 'em
A
A
Undercover methadone clinic
Bm
Bm
Children, close your eyes
Verse 5
Bm
Bm
Say a lullaby and think of a nursery rhyme
Em
Em
Or maybe somethin' your mama used
to tell you when you couldn't sleep
A
A
Jill fell down, when the bow breaks,
Bm
Bm
oh, the cradle will fall
Down will come baby, down will come baby,
down will come baby
Em
Em
A
A
Just put out the cigarette
Just make a decision, Lydia,
Bm
Bm
just make a decision

Verse 6
Bm
Bm
Close your eyes and make a wish
Em
Em
Hear the whisper of God
A
A
He used to talk like you,
you used to see His face in the clouds
Bm
Bm
Now I see your face in my mind
It's wrong for him to want it
Em
Em
Bless this mess, brush your hair
A
A
Fix yourself up real nice,
Bm
Bm
you've got a show tonight
Verse 7
Bm
Bm
Singin' down at the Broken Bottle,
Em
Em
half waiting shifts
A
A
Get the guys a couple of beers,
Bm
Bm
go on get the food, living off tips and meth
Then I came home after
Em
Em
dancin' one night
And I wrecked my car
A
A
So you had to take a bus now
Bm
Bm
So you've got a long walk to think about it
Em
Em
A long walk to the station
A
A
A long life ahead to live with yourself
Bm
Bm
A
A
So think about it, Lydia
Bm
Bm
So think about it, Lydia
