When I was a little girl the world was small to me
Am G F
All the light in my life filtered softly through the trees
Am G F
The shadows in the photographs, five ghosts who followed me
Am G
I was only truly frightened once
F
They called my name and said they wanted me
Em C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm Am D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm Am D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Am G F
Am G F
When I grew in age and fame and travelled through the world
Am G F
All the rives of the city like flags of blue unfurled
Am G F
Me pressed against the railing, me taken to a room
Am G F
Me breaking in the morning, dark with a sense of coming doom
Em C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm Am D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm Am D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em
The eye x8

Now I have grown old and all my grace and beauty gone
Am G F
Five ghosts surround my garden, I don't tell them to move on
Am G F
I walk deeper into shade now, that dappled light again
Am G F
I see you standing at the gate, my one and only friend
Em C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm Am D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Bm Am D
Oh, for one sweet second without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
