Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Dsus4][D][G][D][G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Sober [G]in
the morn[F]ing [C]light
Things look so much different
[F]To how the[G]y looked last nig[D]ht[G]
A pale face pressed to an [F]unmade bed
Like [C]flags of many [F]nations flying
[G]high above her head
[D]The cellophane still on
[F]the flowers
The telegram still in her [C]hand[G]
As whispers [C]circu[G]late [F]all day
Their [C]back- stage baby
[F]princess passed [G]away
And you [Bm]can cage the songb[F#m]ird
But [Am]you can't make h[Em]er sing
And you [Bm]can trap t[F#m]he free bird
But you'll [Am]have to clip her [Em]wings
'Cause she'll [D]soar [G]like [D]a
hawk when she [G]flies[D]
[G]But she'll [C]dive like an eagle [D]when [G]she
[Dsus4]dies[D][G][F][C][F][G]
[D][G]
Promises of [F]no more lies
Fell [C]flat upon an empty [F]stage
Before the [G]audience arrived
[D]A r[G]eturn in time to the cheape[F]r seats
She never knew what [C]lay beneath
Just a [F]dated handbill [G]they found
between the sheets
Let down before [D]the final [F]curtain
A shallow heart that left her [C]cold[G]
She left in rouge [F]upon the mirror
A circled [C]kiss [F]to the faith[G]ful who'd [Bm]miss[G][Bm][F#m][Am][Em]
[Bm]her[F#m]
