View chords used in this chart
(C Am F G)
C Am F G
Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain
C Am F G
Ran to New York but ran away from fame
C Am F G
Only seventeen when all your dreams came true
C Am F G
But all you wanted was someone to undress you
E F
And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain
E F
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed
G
You’re still the same
C Am F G
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
C Am F G
And it’s a long long way, but you’re too blind to see
C Am F G
Frame of silence of an innocent divine
C Am F G
Is a dangerous creation when you fail the test of time
E F
And all the photographs of ghosts of long ago
E F
Still they hurt you so, won’t let you go
G
And you still don’t know
C Am F G
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
C Am F G
And it’s a long long way, but you’re too blind to see
Am C
When you look around yourself now, do you recognize the girl
Dm G
The one, who broke a thousand hearts, terrified the world
E F
And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain
E F
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed
G
You’re still the same
C Am F G
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
C Am F G
And it’s a long long way, but you’re too blind to see
C Am F G
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
