Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
I can see that you're hurting beneath your new red dress.
Fmaj7 Am
Beneath your sharp new shoes and you new tattos,
Fmaj7 C
You are directionless.
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
And I know you've been working as hard as you can
Fmaj7 Am
To pre-empt the question, the expectation,
Fmaj7 C
And I understand.

But you were only ever you, you were glorious you,
C
You were glorious.
-Chorus-

Am Gadd11
With your tongue-tied tragedy and too small T-shirts,
Fadd9 Am7 Gadd11
Glorious you.
