[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Dm
We are the queens of sorrow and we are what we rehearse
G7 C
We clean our conscience daily for our evils to disperse
Am
And our dresses don't have pockets and our hands carry no purse
F G7 C
We know that with possession comes the curse
[Verse 2]
C Dm
We aren't afraid of losing and we aren't afraid of dying
G7 C
Our shoes do not have laces so we don't waste time in tying
Am
And if we aren't incredible, it's not for want of trying
F G C
You'll only hear us giggling, never crying
[Chorus]
F G
We are queens of sorrow
C
Wear our crown, be our friend
F G C
Know that no tomorrow is the end
F G
On and on you echo
C Am
To the farthest, wildest wall
Dm G C
Yes, the light and dark surround us all
[Interlude]
C D G C
Am F G C
[Verse 3]
C Dm
Why then queens of sorrow and not monarchs of joy?
G7 C
Why celebrate the sadness of every man and boy?
F
Here we'll tell you privately the methods we employ
F G C
We vaccinate with hardship and destroy
[Verse 4]
C Dm
Destroy the thought that sadness is a stultifying force
G C
Or that fear or madness could be a qualifying horse
Am
In the race for true fulfillment in life's wild and winding course
F G C
A light in every corner we endorse
[Chorus]
F G
We are queens of sorrow
C
Wear our crown, be our friend
F G C
Know that no tomorrow is the end
F G
On and on you echo
C Am
To the farthest, wildest wall
G7 C
Yes, the light and dark surround us all
[Outro]
C Dm7 G C
