D
So she woke up, woke up from
G
Where she was, lyin' still, and said
D                                     G
"I've got to do something about where we're goin'.
D                        G
Step on a steam train, step out of the
                     D
driving rain maybe, run from the
D               G
darkness in the night."

        A                G
Singing "La la la la de dei,
A                  G
Oh, la la la la de dei
      D            G
ah la la de dei."

D                         G
Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.
D                              G
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
          D
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking
G
Scream without raising your voice.
                    D
You know I took the poison, from the poison stream
       G
Then I floated out of here,

        A                G
Singing "La la la la de dei,
A                  G
Oh, la la la la de dei
      D            G
ah la la de dei."

D
  She runs through the streets, with her eyes painted red
G
  Under a black belly of cloud in the rain.
D
  In through a doorway she brings me
G
white golden pearls stolen from the sea.
        D
She is ragin', she is ragin'
          G
And the storm blows up in her eyes.
        A                  G
She will suffer the needle chill
A                      G     D
  She's running to stand ... still.
