C         Am          F         G                       
Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain  
C         Am          F         G       
Ran to New York but ran away from fame  
C         Am          F         G                 
Only seventeen when all your dreams came true  
C         Am          F         G   
But all you wanted was someone to undress you  
E                                  F 
And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain  
E                                  F                   
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed  
          G  
You’re still the same  

            C         Am          F         G   
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be  
            C         Am          F         G 
And it’s a long long way, but you’re too blind to see  


C         Am          F         G                 
Frame of silence of an innocent divine  
C                Am                F              G                 
Is a dangerous creation when you fail the test of time  

E                             F 
And all the photographs of ghosts of long ago  
E                             F         
Still they hurt you so, won’t let you go  
           G 
And you still don’t know  

            C         Am          F         G   
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be  
            C         Am          F         G 
And it’s a long long way, but you’re too blind to see  

Am                                 C 
When you look around yourself now, do you recognize the girl  
Dm                                   G 
The one, who broke a thousand hearts, terrified the world  

E                                  F 
And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain  
E                                  F                   
Still the grace remains and though the face has changed  
          G         
You’re still the same  

            C         Am          F         G   
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be  
            C         Am          F         G 
And it’s a long long way, but you’re too blind to see  
            C         Am          F         G   
And it’s a long long way from where you want to be
