[Intro]
C G   C G
 
 
[Verse 1]
C          G
You sat at home
G
The windows tinted black
C           G
It hits you hard
G
And you cried so long
C               G
Life turned and wandered
                     C
Never to come back, again
C
Take what she gives you
                 D
Don't feel sorry for her
 
 
[Verse 2]
C             G
When you fell out
G
Out of the Starlight Inn
         C           G
You were too hurt to walk
G
Too bad to begin
C               G
I looked at the sign
G                           C
But I couldn't feel sad for you
C
Take what she gives you
                    D
Don't cry, when you kiss her
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Poor little girl
D
Ran away for good
Em
I try to explain
    D
Why she won't say a thing
G
Sad, sad thing
D
I'm so far away now
Em
How can I say
    D
Why she won't talk at all
 
 
[Chorus]
    G
She holds the deck of cards
    D
She wants to be alone
G                      D
I've been very ill and I tried waking up
       G            D   C D G
Now, I want to be alone
 
 
[Verse 3]
C            G
When you ran out
G
Out of Petes' Hotel
    C              G
You didn't look so good
G
And you didn't feel so well
           C       G
You said, "Hold me tight"
                      C
But I couldn't get it right
C
Take what she gives you
                 D
Don't feel sorry for her
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Poor little girl
D
Ran away for good
Em
I try to explain
    D
Why she won't say a thing
G
Sad, sad thing
D
I'm so far away now
Em
How can I say
    D
Why she won't talk at all
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
    G
She holds the deck of cards
    D
She wants to be alone
    G
She still drinks in the dark
    D
The radio is left on late
    G
She saw a madman fight
    D
And break it all
D
'Cause she hated himself
    G
And she felt better off
       D                  C D G   C G
'Cause she was only drunk
