Verse: 
    Abm              B            Gb                 Dbm
Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain?
         Abm           B          Gb                    Dbm
Like the liquor in the bottle, we watched you slip away.
      Abm          B                    Gb          Dbm
And I feel as if I know you through the bars of a song.
Abm       B            Gb
Always surrounded but alone.


E           B    Gb              Abm
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
E               B   Gb              Abm
 We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
E           B          Gb        Abm
 And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
E          B       Gb
 Was it so hard to breathe?


        Abm            B             Gb             Dbm
Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognise?
        Abm           B               Gb                Dbm
Did the make up never make up for the pain behind your eyes?
      Abm          B                Gb            Dbm
Cos I feel as if I know when you're on my silver screen
      Abm                 B                  Gb
But I don't know the dark places that you've been.


E           B    Gb              Abm
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
E               B   Gb              Abm
 We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
E           B          Gb        Abm
 And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
E          B       Gb
 Was it so hard to breathe?


E                                    B 
 Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight,
Abm                            Gbsus4 - Gb
    To fill the silence left behind?
E                            B 
  And I don't know what goes on in your mind
Abm                                 Gbsus4 - Gb
    I'm sure it's enough to make me cry.
              E                 B   Gb
Someday we'll find you lived fore - ver.


E           B    Gb              Abm
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
E               B   Gb              Abm
 We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
E           B          Gb        Abm
 And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
E          B       Gb
 Was it so hard to breathe?
