[Verse 1]
Gm   F      Eb     F   Gm   F Eb F
From in the shadow she calls
Gm  F      Eb     F Gm F Eb    F Gm F Eb F Gm F Eb   F  Gm  F Eb F Gm F Eb F
And in the shadow she    finds a way,           finds a way
Gm  F      Eb     F   Gm   F  Eb  F
And in the shadow she crawls
Gm   F        Eb F  Gm F Eb  F
Clutching her faded photograph
Gm F     Eb   F    Gm   F  Eb F
My image under her thumb
Gm   F     Eb       F      Gm   F Eb F
Yes, with a message for my heart
Gm   F      Eb      F      Gm    F Eb F Gm F Eb

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Eb F Gm  F      Eb  F        Gm  F  Eb F
Hey, and in the doorway they stay
Gm  F        Eb  F   Gm   F    Eb  F
And laugh as violins fill with water
Gm   F           Eb   F     Gm F Eb   F    Gm F Eb F Gm F Eb
Screams from the bluebells can't make them go away
F        Eb                      Gm
Well I'm not seventeen, but I've cuts on my knees
        Eb                       Gm
Falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree


[Chorus]

Everyone else's girl
      Bb5            F/A
Maybe one day she'll be her own
C5             Eb5            F5
Rushin' rivers thread so thin, limitation
Eb5                         C/E    C5
Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue
        F/A             Eb5
And the drugstore's too safe

In their coats and in their do's
      C/E            C5        D5
Yeah, smother in our hearts, a pillow to my dots

One day, one day she'll be her own


[Verse 3]
Gm  F      Eb    F         Gm    F  Eb F
And in the mist, there she rides
Gm F Eb  F      Gm  F      Eb F
And castles are burning in my heart
Gm  F    Eb    F      Gm   F  Eb F
And as I twist I hold tight
Gm  F Eb   F  Gm    F    Eb   F  Gm  F  Eb Gm  Gm F Eb F
And I ride to work every morning wondering why
Gm   F      Eb    F      Gm   F    Eb  F
"Sit in the chair and be good now"
Gm  F     Eb  F Gm F         Eb   F
Oh, and become all that they told you
Gm  F           Eb    F   Gm F  Eb    F
The white coats enter her room    and I'm calling my baby
Eb/G             F/A              Eb/Bb
Calling my baby, calling my baby, calling

Maybe one day she'll be her own
