E                       Am
Eyes wide open all the time
                               E
Just like a drug store in the city
           Am                   E
Where she walks the streets at night
 E                          Am
Time keeps ticking like the ocean through a siv
     E        Am           E
Ever on ever forward in a march

E
Hallelujah
          A
And she's one for the money
             G          B7
To for the show time to go
         E             Am
Back to life back to dreams
         E
Without tears
       Am              E
She's saving what she killed
     Am              E
She built herself a room
    Am              E
To spin around her womb

Chorus:
                   B       B7
She's saying good bye bye bye
        E
To the world now
                   B       B7
She's saying good bye bye bye
        E
To the world now

Life is heavy of mistakes have come to call her
Always close and dears I never far behind
Floating just above the surface of their brains
Her nightmares wait but come again when she wakes

Hallelujah and she's one for the money
Two for the show, time to go
Back to life, back to dreams without fears
She's saving what she killed
She built herself a room
To spin around her womb

Chorus - x2

She's saying goodbye, bye, bye
To the world now
She's saying goodbye, bye, bye

Eyes wide open all the time just like a drug store
In the city where she walks the streets at night
