[Intro]
D Aadd4 G D
[Verse 1]
D
Maddie lived in west LA
Aadd4
Long brown hair with bangs that lay
G D
Upon her brow, tanned lightly by the sun
D
Her sparkling eyes were crystal blue
Aadd4
When she stared she'd see right through you
G D
Toy with your emotions just for fun
[Chorus]
C G D
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
C G Asus2 A
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
[Verse 2]
D
She worked down at the topless bar
Aadd4
Saved enough to buy a car
G D
A rusty red forgotten Chevrolet
D Aadd4
Too many nights with nothing to show
G D
Counting tips while her frustration grows
[Chorus]
C G D
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
C G D
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
C G Asus2 A
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
[Solo]
D Aadd4 G D x2
[Bridge]
Em C Em
Alone, now is there something wrong with me, she cried
C Em Asus2 A Asus2 A
I feel like something deep inside me died
[Verse 3]
D
Maddie found another town
Aadd4
But her past followed her around
G D
Wherever she would run to there she was
D Aadd4
Baby, don't you leave me, baby, don't go
G D
But streets are for deciding I suppose
[Chorus]
C G D
Ooh-ooh, it's a bitter pill to swallow
C G D
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
C G Asus2 A
She's here today, but she won't be here tomorrow
[Outro]
D
The cycle starts it feels brand new
Aadd4
But she's been here a time or two
G D
Maddie can't be happy if she ain't free
