1. 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
and
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 road, but
you're too blind to see.

2. Frame of silence of an
innocence 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 road, 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
and
if the face has changed the grace remains,

and
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 road, and
you're too blind to see.
