Here, in the house opposite, black gateposts with a concrete frog squatting on top of it.
Through the hallway, ancient wallpaper, nicotine gold.
Up the stairs, rickety, loaded with history.
Here, in the top flat, flowers in the wind, the sill, little breeze fluttering the petals as they stare out at the city streets.
Gemma is awake, what welcome?
Open eyes, streetlights float slowly through broken blinds.
She watches as the shadows play across her tattered carpet and she holds herself tight in the room's half-darkness.
It's cold, she wedges her hands underneath her armpit.
It's 4.18 and Gemma's thinking.
[C] Before I was [C#] an adult, I was a little [C] wreck.
Peddling whatever, I could get [A#] my grubby [C] mitts on.
Got [C#] breakfast where I go for tea.
Him, [C] I gave him puppy-fog eyes, put a on their fingertips.
Head's in the basement, [A#] lips without [C] faces, getting feisty.
[C#] Half-baked in the bakery, [C] eating pastries.
Dressed up for a body who could save me, but I never really [C#m] wondered what they [Cm] gave me.
Always wanted something else, I've been in the dole queue.
Spitting like a villain in the pantomime, oh, shit, bad tea.
[A] Drinking in the [Gm] rain with my [Cm] ghost.
Sitting in the back of the [C#] glass, tongue-in-choke.
[C] Linen's on my [C#] back in the dark.
[Gm] Hold me close, but they never hold.
[C#] I did some things I [Gm] swore I'd [Cm] never tell.
That night you tried to kill [C#] me.
Run me down with your car in the [C] snow.
I didn't realize how far you would go.
Every day I've lived [F#] lives in the day [Gm] I wake.
[Cm] I can't, my dreams are all screaming.
[Gm] But I'm fine [Cm] now, something [C#] remains.
You're still pulling me.
[Cm] Yes, my future is [C#] bright, but my past [A#] tried to [C] ruin it.
You tried to change it, but I know.
[Cm] If you're good to me, I will let you go.
Tried to fight it, but I'm sure.
If you're bad to me, I will let you fall.
[A] Saw some things when I was young.
It made me who I would become.
I filled them with me every day.
Cause if you try and run away, run beside you, pace foot pace.
Trip you up and drag your face through the mud of every wasted chance and every bitter taste.
Heart is sprayed up with the names of all my friends who lost their way.
Doesn't change it, all remained.
You take my strength and give me shame.
All I want is someone great [C] to make me everything I aim.
But the only ones for me are [C#] the ones that [C] shouldn't be.
Even though I'm doing good, I'm working hard, my work is strong.
I've been trying to score a while to go back where my heart is from.
Move myself to emptiness and push my body close to anybody who can [C#] recognize the presence of [Cm] my thoughts.
Tried to change it, but I know.
If you're good to me, I will let you go.
Tried to fight it, but I'm sure.
If you're bad to me, I will let you fall.
Tried to change it, but I know.
If you're good to me, I will let you go.
Tried to fight it, but I'm sure.
If you're bad to me, I will let [D] you [C] fall.
