CC/A#
They say Taylor was a good girl, never one to be late
AmFCC/A#AmF
complain, express ideas in her brain
CC/A#
Working on the night shift, passing out the tickets,
AmFCC/A#AmF
you're gonna have to pay her if you want to park here
CC/A#
Well, mommy's little dancer has quite a little secret
AmFCC/A#AmF
working on the streets now, never gonna keep it
CC/A#
It's quite an imposition and now she's only wishing
AmFCC/A#Am
that she would have listened to the words they said
F
Poor Taylor
Ref1
CC/A#AmFC
She just wanders around, unaffected by
C/A#AmFC
the winter winds and she'll pretend that
C/A#AmFC
she's somewhere else, so far and clear
C/A#Am
About two thousand miles from here

CC/A#AmF
Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window
CC/A#AmF
but Sunny Silhouette won't let him in
CC/A#AmF
Poor old Pete's got nothing because he's been falling
CC/A#AmF
Somehow Sunny knows just where he's been
CC/A#AmF
He thinks that singing on Sunday is gonna save his soul
CC/A#AmF
now that Saturday is gone
CC/A#AmF
Sometimes he thinks that he's on his way
CC/A#Am
but I can see
F
that his brake lights are on
Ref2
CC/A#AmFC
He just wanders around, unaffected by
C/A#AmFC
the winter winds and he'll pretend that
C/A#AmFC
he's somewhere else, so far and clear
C/A#Am
About two thousand miles from here

CC/A#
Such a tough enchilada, filled up with nada
AmFCC/A#AmF
giving what she gotta give to get a dollar bill
CC/A#
Used to be a limber chicken, time's a been a ticking
AmF
Now she's finger licking to the man
CC/A#
With the money in his pocket, flying in his rocket
AmFCDadd4add9F
Only stopping by on his way to a better world
GCDadd4add9F
If Taylor finds a better world
GC
then Taylor's gonna run away
