Miss America

Intro: [F#m] [A] [E] [Bm]

Did [F#m]someone give you [A]something to [E]help you ease the [Bm]pain?

Like the [F#m]liquor in the [A]bottle, we [E]watched you slip [Bm]away.

And I [F#m]feel as if I [A]know you through the [E]bars of a [Bm]song.

[F#m]Always [A]surrounded but [E]alone.

 

[D]But no [A]good[E]byes, you'll always [F#m]be Miss America.

[D]We watched you [A] [E]fly, but nothing's [F#m]free Miss America.

[D]And as you [A]fall [E]apart, we just [F#m]call it art.

[D]Was it so [A]hard to [E]breathe?

 

Was the [F#m]picture in the [A]paper not the [E]face you [Bm]recognise?

Did the [F#m]make up never [A]make up for the [E]pain behind your [Bm]eyes?

Cos I [F#m]feel as if I [A]know when you're [E]on my silver [Bm]screen

But I [F#m]don't know the dark [A]places that you've [E]been.

 

[D]But no [A]good[E]byes, you'll always [F#m]be Miss America.

[D]We watched you [A] [E]fly, but nothing's [F#m]free Miss America.

[D]And as you [A]fall [E]apart, we just [F#m]call it art.

[D]Was it so [A]hard to [E]breathe?

 

[D]Does another voice sing in Heaven's [A6]choir tonight,

[F#m]To fill the silence left [Esus4]behind? [E]

[D] And I don't know what goes [A6]on in your mind

[F#m]I'm sure it's enough to make me [Esus4]cry. [E]

Someday we'll [D]find you lived [A6]fore - [E]ver.

 

[D]But no [A]good[E]byes, you'll always [F#m]be Miss America.

[D]We watched you [A] [E]fly, but nothing's [F#m]free Miss America.

[D]And as you [A]fall [E]apart, we just [F#m]call it art.

[D]Was it so [A]hard to [E]breathe?
