[B] [A]
[E] [B] [A]
[E] Bonnie's a [D#] difficult sister, [A] she loves her, [E] and hides her somewhere in [D#] herself, [B]
safe [A] from harm.
[E] She's barely coasting into [B] a paycheck, stuck [A] on empty, [E]
her blue eyes frozen green in [B] the
low-lit ATM.
[A] Need
[F#] a way to [A] measure the distance, [F#] need a way to say [C#m] why, out [A] of [C#m] me, her [A] voice resonated [E] in [B] me.
[A] It's shown [E] everything, [B]
[A] afraid as she [E] grew, [B]
[A] and strange [F#] and so [A] hopelessly hopeful, [E] her
body's a difficult sister, [A] she loves her, [E] and hides her somewhere in [B] herself, safe [A] from harm.
[E] The night shift is over, [B] she's [F#m] writing you [A] a postcard, [E] say that she's okay and [D#m] it's raining
there [A] again.
[F#] My fury's acting faster than [A] bus fares, [F#] can someone clarify [C#m] why?
There's no [A] structured narrative, [C#m] no [A] neat story [E] line to [B] [A] exclaim.
Wish her [E] [B] everything, [A] afraid as she [E] [B] [A] remains, proud and strange [F#] and so [A] hopelessly hopeful.
[E] [B] Wishes and [A] prayers, I would wish on [E] everything, [B] but no, [A] not as she [E] grows, and [B] as she moves,
[A] proud and strange and [F#] so [A] hopelessly hopeful.
[E]

[C#m] [B]

[E] She shoplifts some Christmas gifts, and a bracelet for herself, and considers phoning
[C#m] home, [B] has some quarters in [A] her hand, [B]
[E] but she sits down on the sidewalk, and bites her bottom
lip, and spends the [C#m] afternoon,
[B] wheeling traffic [E] lights that change.
