  			Intro: /A /D D Dsus2 D Dsus2 (2X) 

D             /C#               /C            /B 
She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorway 
Gm/Bb             A7            D 
Wondering how she ever got this way, 
D              /C#              /C              /B  
She fights her tears away then prays for no more sorrow 
     Gm/Bb           A7            D 
Will tomorrow be the same as yesterday, 

D#         /D               /C#               /C  
She tasted from the tree of life which led to hunger 
        G#m/B              Bb7        D# 
Now she wonders how she'll ever carry on. 
D#         /D                /C#                /C  
She thinks about the life she knew when she was younger 
       G#m/B              Bb7                 D# 
Heaven help her now those days are long since gone. 

E             /D#               /D                  /C#                     
She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping next to no one 
         Am/C                B7              E 
And it's no fun when there's no one there to see. 
E             /D#            /D                  /C#                     
She looks down at her feet my God they sure look dirty 
      Am/C            B7           E 
Seven-thirty, time to be or not to be. 

She cries out won't somebody listen to my story 
Mourning Glories aren't supposed to have to beg. 
She wakes up - she finds herself sleeping in a doorway 
Wonderin' how she ever got that way,.
