This Girl Is Taking Bets
View chords used in this chart
Am
This Girl is a stencil of a brushstroke in the rain
E Am
She?s a ghost of the city she?s a body through the windscreen
E Am
This girl is the snowfall where the spring should have been
E Am
She?s the stains on the pages of a top shelf magazine
This girl is a black eye she?s a bruise on your knee
E Am
She?s the ashes of the people that you really meant to be
E Am
This girl?s the resurrection she?s the comeback
E Am
She?s the absinthe and whiskey she is poetry and Prozac
F G
Am
This girl is taking bets this girl?s a silhouette cant you see
Am
This girl is the flutter of fake lashes in the mirror
E Am
She?s a ragged edged fedora or a Spanish souvenir
This girl is the clean cut she?s the frozen ground
E
She?s a knife drawn down the side street when there's no-one else around
This girls a forged ticket to a Lloyd Webber show
E Am
She?s the far end of the graveyard up where the nettles grow
E Am
This girl is the rainbow in the dewy eyed stares
E Am
She?s the name tag on the toe of your long dead love affairs
This girl is taking bets....
Am
This girl is the wild smile the icy stare
E Am
She?s the crackle of the static she?s the curses she's The prayers
E Am
This girl is the junkie in the children's matinee
E
She?s the 4 minute warning
Am
She is hell to pay
Am
This girl is the plunge pool she is cocaine and Kodak
E Am
Now she's out setting sail on the ocean of the soundtrack
This girl is the shaking hand the rattling cup
E Am
With a button and a note saying things are looking up
