// I am aware that it's much easier to read the chords 'Cb' and
// 'Bbb' as 'B' and 'A', but these are semantically incorrect in

Cm              Ab
Torch the moon, burn the schools
Bb                      G/B
She wrote in red on her bedroom wall -
Fm/Ab      Ab    G                      Cm    Bb/[G,Bb,C]  Cm/[G,Bb,C]
"Nothing's pure", the paint runs to the floor

Cm                       Ab
She laughs too easily and cries too hard
Bb               G/B                    Fm/Ab
Shouldn't drink alone, the colours run
           Ab       G/B
How can she forgive
                          Cm  Bb/[G,Bb]
When we know well what we do

Cm               Ab
Feather scratches on her wrist
Bb                        G/B                Fm/Ab
Dry run with a bread knife for a final twist
            Ab     G                               Cm  Bb/[G,Bb]
It wouldn't be for show, if it should come to this

Cm                       Ab
She laughs too easily and cries too hard
Bb               G/B                    Fm/Ab
Shouldn't drink alone, the colours run
           Ab       G/B
How can she forgive
                          Ab
When we know well what we do

        Gm/Eb           Ab(add#7) Gm/Eb
She was born to feel it all,      born to see it all
Ab         Eb/G    Ebm/Gb            Cb
And when I feel so lightly it's till burning brightly
Bbb          Ab
And she won't look away


Cm   Ab
C(omit3,add#4)  Ab(omit3,add#4)
C(omit3,add#4)  Ab(add6)
C(omit3,add#4)  Ab
Ab  Eb/G  Ebm/Gb  Cb  Bbb  Ab

Cm             Ab
Torch the moon, burn the schools
Bb           G/B                   Fm/Ab
Whys it a man making all the rules
      Ab    G/B           Cm    Bb/[G,Bb]
Frida Kahlo poster on her door

Cm                       Ab
She laughs too easily and cries too hard
Bb               G/B                    Fm/Ab
Shouldn't drink alone, the colours run
           Ab       G/B
How can she forgive
                          Cm  Bb/G
When we know well what we do

Ab         Eb/G    Ebm/Gb            Cb
And when I feel so lightly its still burning brightly
Bbb          Ab
And she won't look away
Cb          Bbb     Ab
She won't look away...
Cb  Bbb  Ab
