Chords: C; A7; Em; G
Lying alone there’s no one left to lie to
So she listens to the voices in her head
Maybe her world’ll stop spinning if she
Finally stops grinning at imaginary men beside her bed
How many more times must this lonely girl keep playing
To figure out just how much she has lost
Her pockets are all empty but she still
Still has more than plenty to pay whatever price that it may cost
When her thoughts go away
She’s got nothing to say
The waves come crashing down
She keeps on going
Where the wind is blowing
But she can’t seem to find the place she once had found
(solo)
(Chorus)
She only questioned the one who made her think twice
Tattoos rise up from beneath her skin
She finally admitted it’s true when she
Did all that a man could do she’d never allow herself to really win…again
She’ll never allow herself to really win
‘Cause she likes to gamble on life you see…
It’s not her choice; it’s just her destiny…
To be lying alone
She’s paying off on bets she doesn’t owe
And when her thoughts go away
Clouds cover the bay
And the rain comes pouring down
She keeps on going
Where the wind is blowing
And she just can’t find the place she once had found
