The People Of The Lock

            C                 Am
She was a saddened girl kept lots within
      F                     G
When asked she startle and tried to grin
 C                 Am
Always say it was nothing much
    F   G          C
Never emotional stricken
Am
Stricken with fraught
F                     G
Wrapped up tight like she was caught
C             Am
And when we’d pull her away
       F
They’d come out laughing
G
And would say


C   Am      F             G
 We are the people of the lock
   C                Am
We suffer with the absence of
F        G
 All her rotting thoughts
   C
So leave her
 Am
Leave her to be
   F                 G
We need her with her broken key
C                      Am
Still we’d try to pull her away
        F
So they ripped out her veins
        G
And she drained away

Interlude (x2): C Am F G

C                     Am
Years went by and she stayed all chained
F                            G
Chained by these people who relished her pain
C                       Am
Still we’d try to reach out to her
       F  G        C
We were emotional sickened
Am
Sickened, distraught
F                     G
Tired of this filthy, rusty lock
C               Am
Showed her what she could be
    F                      G
And helped her pick up and mend her key


C    Am        F             G
 She faced the people of the lock
    C                              Am
She barged through their doors and upturned all
F           G
 Of their pathetic plots
    C
She told them
Am
Leave her to be
    F                G
She wasn’t alone and she could see
    C           Am
Her future, her family
    F                G
And very own shiny, unbroken key

Interlude (x2): C Am F G

C                     Am
Now she’s free healed mentally
F                G
No more locks or scarring deeds
C              Am
Ready for this life to be
  F                       G
Surrounded by friends and family
C                  Am
And whenever she’s feeling down
       F                     G
She’ll look up knowing she’s safe and sound
C                Am
In her heart she knows that she
       F              G
Has us all within her little key


C            Am           F             G
 One day she glimpsed the people of the lock
    C                      Am
She laughed in their faces as they choked
F       G
 On her happy thoughts
     C
They left her
Am
Left her to be
F                  G
Ran away when they saw her key
         C     Am
And were never seen again
    F               G         C ~
And this is how the story ends
