Intro: Em  G  D  Am

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


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


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


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


C                                    G 
 Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight,
Em                            Dsus4 - D
    To fill the silence left behind?
C                            G 
  And I don't know what goes on in your mind
Em                                 Dsus4 - D
    I'm sure it's enough to make me cry.
              C                 G   D
Someday we'll find you lived fore - ver.


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