The (Cm)girl in the (A)oth er room, she (Ab7)knows fles by (G)now, there’s some thing in (Cm)all of her (F9sus)fears.

Now she wears her (G7)thread bare, she (Cm)sits on the (Cm)floor, es, the (Ab)glass ing pressed tight to the (G)wall.

She (Cm)hears mur murs (A)low, ing?

the (Ab7)pa per is (G)peel ing, her (Cm)eyes star ing (Cm)straight at the (B69)ceil

(E69)ing.

May be they’re there,

or (Eb)may be it’s noth ing at (Gm)all.

It’s As she (Fm11)draws lip stick (Cm)smears (Cm7)on the (D)wall, the The (G)girl in (D)the oth er (Em)room, (Em7)she (C)pow ders her (Bm)face, and (Bbmaj7)stares

(A7sus)hard She (Bb)in (Ab)to her (G)re (Ab)flec tion.

(Cm)girl in the (A)oth er room, she (Ab7)sti fles a (G)yawn, ad just ing the (Cm)strap of her (F9sus)gown.

She toss es her (G7)tress es, her (Cm)love on un (Cm)dress es, the (Ab)turn ing the last lamp light (G)down.

What’s (Cm)that voice we’re (A)hear ing?

We (Ab7)pa should be (G)sleep ing.

May be she’s there,

or (Eb)may be there’s noth ing to (Gm)see.

It’s just a (Fm11)trace lip of (Cm)what (Cm7)used to (D)be.

the The (G)girl in (D)the oth er (Em)room, (Em7)she (C)dark ens her (Bm)lash and (Bbmaj7)blush

She (Bb)seems (Ab)to look (G)fa (Ab)mil iar.
