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


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


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


G           D    A              Bm
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.

 Was it so hard to breathe?


G                                    D 
 Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight,
Bm                            Asus4 - A
    To fill the silence left behind?
G                            D 
  And I don't know what goes on in your mind
Bm                                 Asus4 - A
    I'm sure it's enough to make me cry.
              G                 D   A
Someday we'll find you lived fore - ver.


G           D    A              Bm
 But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
