The Heroine

Bbm Cm Fm Bbm Eb Fm Bbm Cm The city is wartorn Fm And nearly impassable Bbm Eb I act the lovelorn Fm Dramatically laughable Bbm Cm You said you'd come see me Fm Here underground Bbm Eb Now it's closing night Fm And you can't be found Bbm Cm Db Cm I go through the motions again and again Bbm Cm Db Fm But you are not here to see them Bbm Cm Db Eb I go through the emotions again and again Fm Ab Bbm Cm And this time I actually feel them Bbm Cm I play the heroine Fm I play to their sympathies Bbm Eb I say the sweetest things Fm To command their empathy Db Ab Bbm Cm I asked just one thing of you, to be here Db Ab Bbm Cm Did I not let it slip that I was sincere? Db Ab Bbm Cm That was my best poker face, trying not to care Fm Ab Bbm Cm I watch and I wait while you never appear Bbm Cm The city is wartorn Fm And nearly impassable Bbm Eb I act the lovelorn Fm Dramatically laughable Bbm Cm Db Cm And though I've been spoiled by petty privilege Bbm Cm Db Cm I am no child throwing a fit Bbm Cm Db Cm I could write the book of disappointment Fm Ab Bbm Cm And you'd be the final chapter of it Bbm Cm So you're a coward Fm Who could never love me Bbm Eb Or you have fallen Fm To the enemy Db Ab Bbm Cm I asked just one thing of you, to be here Db Ab Bbm Cm Did I not let it slip that I was sincere? Db Ab Bbm Cm That was my best poker face, trying not to care Fm Ab Bbm Cm I watch and I wait while you never appear Db Ab Bbm Cm All these people came all this way Db Ab Bbm Cm Faces stained with loss but smiling as they're crying Db Ab Bbm Cm I would rather see you laugh at my tragedy Fm Ab Bbm Cm Than choke on these tears while I'm curtsying Bbm Cm So you're a coward Fm Who could never love me Bbm Eb Or you have fallen Fm To the enemy Bbm Cm The city is wartorn Fm And nearly impassable Bbm Eb I act the lovelorn Fm Dramatically laughable
