Am Five hundred steps left to make it to the front door E My red high heels click, click Four many too drinks I feel my backbone Dm Threaten to greet the concrete below C I mean, who wants to be in Paris Am Drunk and alone? B7 Where the phantom of a past love F7 Lingers in the cracks of Em The cobblestones that I march on E And it haunts me and it taunts me Am And su- su- su- suddenly Am E In a reflection of a Chanel boutique E N.C. Window I can see the old me and I hate her Am I feel syrup strands of blue moonlight Am Pour through the clouds E To find me out like a spotlight E As if Heaven's watching down Dm To illustrate briefly the state of my mind C I have black cat-eye glasses C So I look chic as I cry B7 And it's funny, some people say I F7 Remind them of Amy Em Some spit through their keyboards E I'll never amount F And the evil in insults F The arrows from your tongue E Is the same devils you tortured her with Am Anyhow, I [Refrão] Am E7 I'll overcome (She will, she will, she will) Dm Am I'll overcome (Yes indeed, yes indeed, yes indeed) B7 When this wicked world wants to whisper F7 You can not F7 You won't be E You will not E So go home E And shut up E And go sleep Dm This is a song to remind me Dm E Since I needed one E N.C.
