[Verse]
        Am7
Her old flower
tattoos are
 C          G
ragged and worn
   Am7
Her T-shirt and
sneakers are
 C            G
tattered and torn
          Am7
She could make
a few
 dollars through
 C        G
peddling porn
  Fmaj7
A forgotten girl
 who's
 living next door
 F       Am7
He's the boy on
the
 sidewalk you're
 C          G
stepping around
  Am7
A teaspoon and
 tin foil are
 C
spread on the
  G
 ground
 Am7
Needless to say,
 he'll
    C         G
forget for a while
        Fmaj7
But the pain will
 be
 worse next time
around

Jane was her

Aspiring dancer
who's

light on her feet
      Fmaj7
So she ran for the
 hills just to
follow hwe dreams
     Am7         C
From studio sets
 to poles on
     G
the strip
      Am7
Found solace and
substance in
 C           G
rooms dimly lit
   Am7
No one to look
up to and
 C            G
too young to get
          F
That the bed that
 she's made
 will be stained
 with
    F  Am Am F
regret
