Intro 1

Verse 1
Em 
F 
G 
Applause
Her face is as long as a night
that won't end
D 
She watches time pass
like she's seen everything
Em 
Her jacket is torn
F 
with rambles and thorns
G 
Worn down to the sleeve
It's a little too large for her shoulders bent
D 
But she could care less
about such things as ease.
Em 
There's a ra  dio on,
F 
and it warms up the wind
G 
like the hand of a friend in
D 
Dsus4 
D 
the breeze.
G 
She sleeps on a grate behind
Copley Place,
D 
where the heat is escaping
from skyscraper's place.
Em 
F 
She follows the news of a paper
G 
that's used by some worker in the air.
She clips at the notices
D 
and pins them inside her salvation coat,
lying there beside her.
Em 
Before it  gets dark,
F 
she's gonna walk to the park,
G 
D 
listen to the music for free.
G 
D 
It's only the will to survive,
Em 
F 
only the look in her eye
G 
D 
Dsus4 
that gets her by.
D 
G 
She heads across town
in no particular direction
D 
Her face wears the look
of a lack of expression
Em 
F 
She's long given up her idea of perfection
G 
In this life, she remembers a guy
that she saw in the gutter
D 
crying out for a sister or a brother.
Em 
He looked like her father.
F 
She felt like his mother.
G 
D 
She wanted to be his wife.
G 
But she still hears the sound of goodbye.
D 
Em 
F 
Makes her hold on to the sky.
G 
it gets her by.
D 
It gets her by.
Eb 
G 
Eb 
G 
Get your body

G 
Her face is as long as a
night that won't end.
D 
She watches time pass
Dsus4 
D 
like she's seen everything.
Em 
Her jacket is torn with
F 
brambles and thorns
G 
worn down at the sleeve.
Last time I saw it was down by the river.
D 
I looked in my pocket
to see what I could give her.
Em 
She sat down for a while,
F 
gave me a little smile,
G 
D 
You look straight ahead, then at me
G 
D 
It's just one more reason to try
Em 
F 
It's just one more reason to try
G 
And that gets me by
D 
Gets me by
G 
Only the will to survive
D 
Em 
F 
G 
Only a look in the eye gets us by
D 
Gets us by
Em 
F 
G 
Gets us by
