Claire
(from forthcoming production, 2004)(G) (D) (C) (G – Em – D – G...)
You never thought you would end up here like this
Stuck with a kid, & your life: what a mess!
You were enticed by that shimmering black light
Thought, "Trust this demon & you’ll be alright!"
(C) (D4 – D) (C) (D)
Ra, the old liar, he sucked you right into the mire
(C) (G...)
Now, how’re you gonna get out of it? (2x)
You thought you deserved something better than this
So, you took what was yours & you didn’t take shit
You bit the hands of those who would have died for you
Juped from the frying pan into the fire, didn’t you?
Remember, you used to be my girl
One heart, one soul, your world was my world
but you you had to get out of it, you just had to get out of it
(C) (D) (G)
(Br.:) And still you just wanna get out of this
Don’t wanna get stuck with us lunatics
(C) (D4)
You’re sure you deserve something better than this, somewhere, oh yeah?
(G – A/G – C) (D) (G – A/G – C – D)
(Ch.:) Claire, I’m sure you’ll find it somewhere
(G...)
All your ambitions & dreams & your castles of air
(Em – F#/D – G – C)
And Claire, when you get there
(Am7) (B/G) (C) (D4) (G – D – C – G...)
right me a postcard that just says, "Made it, Claire"
How many lies can you tell without having to blush
Bluff like each hand you were dealt was a Royal Flush?
(C...)
You were aiming higher, wouldn’t get stuck with the rest of us fools in the mire
No, you had to get out of it, yeah, you just had to get out of it
(G) (D-C) (G) (Em-D) (G) (D-C) (G) (Em-D-G...)
(Br., Ch.2x) "Made it at last, free as a bird, finally beauty has rescued my world..." (rep.)
