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
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

C           Am             F      G
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
            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
            C         Am         F           G
And it's a long long way from where you want to be
