I've been so [B]disillu[Em]sioned[Am]
I know [C]you'd take me [B]back

You might [C]have seen the end

When you sit her down
and tell her
Everything's gonna all right
She [C]knows in society she [F#m]either is
A devil or an angel with [C]no in between
[B]She speaks in third person
[Em]So she can forget that s[B]he's me
