Paralytic States

	  		

Intro: E F# B G# 

B 
She could hear them fucking through 
Those thin hotel walls 
          E 
She heard babies crying, 
She heard laughter, she heard sirens 
B 
Red and blue lights flashing 
Through those cheap hotel drapes 
              E 
Blood spilled out on the porcelain 
         F# 
The bath tub's over-flowing 

E         F# 
Paralytic states of dependency 
B          G# 
All waking life's just a living dream 
E        F# 
Agitated states of amazement 
B                              G# 
Never quite the woman that she wanted to be

E F# B G# 

B 
Spread out faced down on those 
Stained cheap hotel sheets 
              E 
She spent the last years of her life 
Running from the boy she used to be 
B 
Cut her face wide open 
Shaved the bone down thin 
            E 
Plumped her lips up exaggerated 
         F#m 
A fucked up kind of feminine

G A D B 

D 
Night time at the hotel there was fighting in the hall 
           G 
Thin chain lock to keep the world out 
She held her breath till it was gone 
D 
Standing naked in front of that hotel bathroom mirror 
          G 
In her dysphoria's reflection 
          A 
She still saw her mother's son

G               A                   G       A 
By the time the ball dropped it was already over

No resolutions for the new year beginning tomorrow
