verse 1
G C7
Was she a trainwreck, was she a last drag?
G C7
Was she the little peace of mind you thought you once had?
G D
Was she the cure-all or just the disease?
C G
Was she the ransacked girl in big denim jeans?
C D
Maybe the money spent, maybe the bad nights,
G C
Maybe the deep wound left behind a spider bite,
G7 D
Maybe the head hung inside a toilet seat,
C7 G7
Maybe the vampire searching for someone to bleed.
Bridge
D
Hey, it's whatever she wants to be.
D
Hey, that's whatever she's gonna be
C D
Out there roaming the night,
C D D7
Yes, I'm the only boy she won't fight.
verse 2
G C7
Was she the wedding dress drenched all in gasoline?
G C7
Was she the new-age jezebel dog treat?
G D
Was she the warhead or the firecracker?
C G
Was she death itself or whatever comes after?
C D
Maybe a sucker punch, maybe the common threat,
G C
Maybe the gray teeth pulling on a cigarette,
G7 D
Maybe the absolute, maybe the in-between,
C7 G7
Maybe a fortune teller with no one there to read.
Bridge
D
And she waits and she knows herself too well,
D
She stares at her hands but still can't tell
C D
When good luck comes around
C D D7
She packs up all her cards and jumps town.
verse 3
G C7
Was she the trophy wife, was she the wanderer?
G C7
Was she the only spell in life that you've been under?
G D
Was she the broken string or the whole symphony?
C G
Maybe the upright, perfectly out of key,
C D
Maybe a tar pit filled up with ancient bone,
G C
Maybe the footsteps you hear when you're home alone,
G7 D
Maybe the prize bird losing its feathers,
C7 G7
Maybe the glue that just won't hold your shit together.

Outro
G C7
Was she the blood moon that means disaster?
G C7
Maybe she's nothing close to what you think you're after.
G D
When all at once, man, you wake and come to
C G
You know exactly what it is that she was to you.
