[Verse 1]
She [G]could hear them fucking through
Those thin hotel walls
She heard [C]ba bies crying,

Through those cheap hotel drapes
Blood spilled [C]out on the porcelain
The [D]bath tub's over-flowing

[G]All waking lif[Em]e's just a living dre[C]am

[Verse 3]
[G]Spread out faced down on those
Stained cheap hotel sheets
She spent [C]the last years of her life
Running from the boy she used to be
[G]Cut her face wide open
Shaved the bone down thin
Plumped her lips [C]up exaggerated
A fucked [D]up kind of [C]feminine

[Verse 4]

[G]All waking lif[Em]e's just a living dre[C]am

[Verse 5]
[Bb]Night time at the hotel there
was fighting in the hall
Thin chain lock [Eb]to keep the world out
She held her breath till it was gone
[Bb]Standing naked in front of
that hotel bathroom mirror
In [Eb]her dysphoria's reflection
She still [F]saw her mother's [Eb]son

[Verse 6]
Paralytic [Bb]states of de[F]pendency
[Eb]All waking life'[Bb]s just a livin[F]g drea[Eb]m
Agitated [Bb]states of [F]amazement
[Eb]Never quite the woman that
she [F]wanted to be
[Eb]Never quite the woman
that she [F]wanted to be

[Verse 7]
By [Eb]the time the [F]ball dropped
it was [Bb]already [Gm]over
By [Eb]the time the [F]ball dropped
it [Bb]was already [Gm]over
No [Eb]resolutions for the [F]new
year beginning [Bb]tomorrow
