[Em][D][Em][D][Bm][Em]
[D][Em][D][G]
I first [Em]saw her as

[Verse 1]
a child on the [D]movie screen
I [Em]felt my heart jump out of my [D]chest[Bm]
She [Em]was damaged and lean
With a charac[D]ter that [Em]puts your
fortitude to the [D]test[G]
[Em]Beauty

[Verse 2]
by day, [D]danger by [Em]night
Ain't it a bitch [D]to see
[Bm]That the o[Em]nly city I could
ever [D]really love
Takes [Em]the time to step on people like

[Interlude 1]
me?

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Asus4]Like a flame
She [Am]plays by the rules [Asus4]of
her [Dsus4]own game

[Verse 4]
[G]
I hear an [Em]echo through a
canyon of con[G]crete
[Em]Reflecting seas of lifeless eyes
[D]Wat[Bm]ching ant[Em]s toting hope hom[D]e
[Dsus4]into their [Dm]towers[Gm][Em]
Stretching up towards [D]the sky[G]
Some[Em]how she

[Verse 5]
moves me,
[Gm]somebody fooled me
[Em]Into thinking she don't mean to be mean[G]
[Bm]And the [Em]fact, though impractical,
seem[D]s to be
That [Em]she's somehow got a hold on
[D]me

[Interlude 2]
[Em][Gm][Am][Gm]
[Am][Gm]
[D]Like a wind

[Verse 6]
[Em][Asus4]
Like a flame
She [Am]plays by the rules of her [Dsus4]own game
