[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]17 and she's almost there
Trying to get ahead in this game of life
She looks to the stars and
the moon and the sky
She believes that one day
she's gonna fly
And she [A]sees every [G]motion picture
She [A]sees everything [G]she wants to [D]be
She looks on the
TV, sees everybody
Taking all our money in the name of
Christ
She turns the sky as she lifts
her hands high
Overcome by darkness,
she's as [A]black as [D]the night
And [A]she sees evil, the [G]money taker
She [A]sees everything she [G]wants to be
She'll [A]be another [G]one of these fakers
You [A]see that she's [G]rather nastily [D]overcome
By the [G]self inside, inside her [Em]mind
She'll it [G]fine, she said
I'm just [D]over broke
And I [G]think life's a joke
And they don't know,
[Em]they don't know[G]
That she [A]lies to keep [G]her sanity
And she [A]tries to [G]live her [D]life[A]
[D]So[A]
[D][A][G][A][G]
[D][G][A][G][A][G]
She [D]steps in the hills of the molten beer
And she runs up a tab of a night filled with
pills
She don't know of a day
that's going to end
An obsession of darkness
with a gun to her head
She [A]sees no other way [G]out of this mess
She [A]seems, she's blinded
by [G]her own selfishness
She'll [A]be, another suicide [G]statistic
You'll [A]see,
that she's [G]rather nicely over[D]come
By the [G]self -insight inside her [Em]mind
She's [G]fine, she says,
I'm just [D]overworked
And nothing [G]left's a joke,
and they don't know
[Em]They don't [G]know that she [A]cries
Screaming profan[G]ity, she [A]lies
Subduing san[G]ity, she [A]tries
To [G]live, but she's [D]overcome[G][Em][G][D]
[G]They don't [Em]know,
they don't [G]know I [A]try to pray for her san[G]ity
I cry [A]because of her van[G]ity
And she [A]lies to [G]live her [D]life[A]
You
