Verse:
(nc)               Cm
Five hundred steps left to make it to the front door
            G
My red high heels click, click
Four many too drinks
I feel my backbone
  Fm
Threaten to greet the concrete below
            Eb
I mean, who wants to be in Paris
 Cm
Drunk and alone?
          D7
Where the phantom of a past love
Ab7
Lingers in the cracks of
    Gm
The cobblestones that I march on
       G
And it haunts me and it taunts me
    Cm
And su- su- su- suddenly
        Cm                     G
In a reflection of a Chanel boutique
                     G            (nc)
Window I can see the old me and I hate her
      Cm
I feel syrup strands of blue moonlight
Cm
Pour through the clouds
   G
To find me out like a spotlight
      G
As if Heaven's watching down
   Fm
To illustrate briefly the state of my mind
        Eb
I have black cat-eye glasses
          Eb
So I look chic as I cry
        D7
And it's funny, some people say I
  Ab7
Remind them of Amy
     Gm
Some spit through their keyboards
G
I'll never amount
        Ab
And the evil in insults
    Ab
The arrows from your tongue
       G
Is the same devils you tortured her with
   Cm
Anyhow, I

When this wicked world wants to whisper
    Ab7

   G
So go home
    G
And shut up
    G
And go sleep

 Since I needed one
G          (nc)
I will overcome

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes I will, oh

Verse:
                   C
Five hundred steps back and I was doing so well
So well
                    G
Whilst scrolling, I sighed
I'm so jealous
Of everyone online
       D,
Who is so much happier
And content and complete
        Cm
To feel better
I'll shall arrange a sad little feast
             D7
Where I will jump up and down
      Ab7
On my bed in my grief
          G
And I'll play Edith Piaf
         G
And I'll dance and I'll eat
          Fm
Chocolate cake and I'll
           Fm
Have no regrets till I
            G7
Wake up and hate me now

I will keep on

Bridge:
                   Cm
Five hundred steps left, maybe I have lost count
My battery died
  G
So I'm not sure if I turn left or turn right
      Fm
As my eyes gathered tears
It's as if it was staged
               Cm
How the night skies above
Start to thunder and rain
                 D7
Like a Hollywood movie
      Ab7
With some sad exceptions
    Gm
No lover to kiss
      G
Or promised happy endings
      D7
I'll swing 'round this street lamp
       Ab7
And I'll give you a story
            G
You may say I look crazy
      G
But I won't even care
          D7
Aren't we all broken people
        Ab7
Just perfect how to hide it
    Cm
And life's guarantee's
           G
That we're all going to die
        D7                      Ab7
So am I going to live like this all of my life?
          G
I'm not okay right now
                           Cm
But I'll get there somehow, I

Chorus:
Cm         G
  I'll overcome, I

There's a thin grey veil over her horizon
And it is the wall between hope and despair
She exists behind it

She will overcome
