Lydia chords and lyrics - MARGO PRICE

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][G][Am]
[Dm][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
At the clinic, wonderin' what [Am]your face
would be like
Mas[Dm]cara bleedin' to my eyes
[G]Tied like a dog on a chain with a mid
[Am]life crisis and an ex husband
Sneaking a Marlboro Ultra Light I stole
from a nurse out there [Dm]in the alley
[G]Halfway home is where the heart
is and I'm [Am]halfway home

[Verse 2]
[Am]
White trash, trailer trash,
they said you'd [Dm]always be it
And you said, "One day you'll see"
But [G]lately, you start to wonder
if maybe they [Am]were right
Spit on you at school outside
And n the lock[Dm]er room and
in the bathroom too
[G]Locked you in the stall
Bless this mess, can I bum [Am]a light?

[Verse 3]
[Am]
The cars out on the L.A. freeway
They look like red and [Dm]white Christmas
lights strung out on a chain
The [G]ex virgin Mary of 49th street has
a [Am]pocket full of pills
She sold herself for synthetic heroin and
[Dm]sleepin' with a man twice her age
[G]Really though it was anything
but sleep[Am]in'

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Nice [Dm]neighbors, bad [G]cough
No health insurance this year,
transition[Am]al neighborhood
Gentrification comes like it always does
and some [Dm]nice condos, they go in
But [G]the needles in the alley
they're still lay[Am]in' there
Don't go barefoot or take
a nap out there
Wear [Dm]shoes if you have 'em
[G]Undercover methadone clinic
Children, [Am]close your eyes

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Say a lullaby and think of a nursery rhyme
[Dm]Or maybe somethin' your mama used
to tell you when you couldn't sleep
[G]Jill fell down, when the bow breaks,
oh, [Am]the cradle will fall
Down will come baby, down will come baby,
down will come baby
[Dm]Just put out the cigar[G]ette
Just make a decision, Lydia,
just [Am]make a decision

[Interlude 1]
It's yours
[Am][Dm][G][Am]
[Dm][G][Am]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Close your eyes and make a wish
Hear the whis[Dm]per of God
He used to [G]talk like you,
you used to see His face in the clouds
Now I see your [Am]face in my mind
It's wrong for him to want it
[Dm]Bless this mess, brush your hair
[G]Fix yourself up real nice,
you've got a show [Am]tonight

[Verse 7]
[Am]Singin' down at the Broken Bottle,
half waiting [Dm]shifts
Get the [G]guys a couple of beers,
go on get the food, liv[Am]ing off tips and meth
Then I came home after
dancin' one [Dm]night
And I wrecked my car
So you had to take [G]a bus now
So you've got a [Am]long walk to think about it
A long walk to [Dm]the station
A long life ahead to live [G]with yourself
So think about it, [Am]Lydia[G]
So think about it, [Am]Lydia

[Outro 1]
[G][Am]
