Verse 1
C#m
C#m
At the clinic, wonderin' what your face
would be like
F#m
F#m
Mascara bleedin' to my eyes
B
B
Tied like a dog on a chain with a mid
C#m
C#m
life crisis and an ex husband
Sneaking a Marlboro Ultra Light I stole
F#m
F#m
from a nurse out there in the alley
B
B
Halfway home is where the heart
C#m
C#m
is and I'm halfway home
Verse 2
C#m
C#m
White trash, trailer trash,
F#m
F#m
they said you'd always be it
And you said, "One day you'll see"
B
B
But lately, you start to wonder
C#m
C#m
if maybe they were right
Spit on you at school outside
F#m
F#m
And n the locker room and
in the bathroom too
B
B
Locked you in the stall
C#m
C#m
Bless this mess, can I bum a light?
Verse 3
C#m
C#m
The cars out on the L.A. freeway
F#m
F#m
They look like red and white Christmas
lights strung out on a chain
B
B
The ex virgin Mary of 49th street has
C#m
C#m
a pocket full of pills
She sold herself for synthetic heroin and
F#m
F#m
sleepin' with a man twice her age
B
B
Really though it was anything
C#m
C#m
but sleepin'
Verse 4

C#m
F#m
F#m
B
B
Nice neighbors, bad cough
No health insurance this year,
C#m
C#m
transitional neighborhood
Gentrification comes like it always does
F#m
F#m
and some nice condos, they go in
B
B
But the needles in the alley
C#m
C#m
they're still layin' there
Don't go barefoot or take
a nap out there
F#m
F#m
Wear shoes if you have 'em
B
B
Undercover methadone clinic
C#m
C#m
Children, close your eyes
Verse 5
C#m
C#m
Say a lullaby and think of a nursery rhyme
F#m
F#m
Or maybe somethin' your mama used
to tell you when you couldn't sleep
B
B
Jill fell down, when the bow breaks,
C#m
C#m
oh, the cradle will fall
Down will come baby, down will come baby,
down will come baby
F#m
F#m
B
B
Just put out the cigarette
Just make a decision, Lydia,
C#m
C#m
just make a decision

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

A long walk to the station
B

A long life ahead to live with yourself
C#m
C#m
B
B
So think about it, Lydia
C#m
