Am
They said in her younger days
C
F
Her beauty was enough to drive men wild
G7
F
But the hunger in her body then
G7
C
Was not the hunger of some lonely child
Am
Like a butterfly in springtime
C
F
Searching every field for lovin’s sweetest rose
G7
F
The embrace of many strangers
G7
C
Still could not release her from the hold
Am
In the back streets and the bedrooms
C
F
All she’s found is disappointments bitter weeds
G7
F
While the love that she’s too often found
G7
C
Is not enough to satisfy her needs
Am
She’s older than the years she holds
C
F
And aging fast with each day passing by
G7
F
On a downhill run to nowhere
G7
C
Cause the hunger never can be satisfied
F
Em
The reflection in her mirror’s
F
Em
C
Not the image she remembers in her mind
F
Em
D7
Her beauty has been eaten by the hunger
G7
And the acid winds of time
C
Am
She has danced the tune the demons play
C
F
And paid the piper dearly for his song
G7
F
Empty now of all the pride
G7
C
Still inside the hunger’s just as strong
Am
Like a butterfly in springtime
C
F
Searching every field for lovin’s sweetest rose
G7
F
The embrace of many strangers
G7
C
Still could not release her from the hold
Am
In the back streets and the bedrooms
C
F
All she’s found is disappointments bitter weeds
G7
F
While the love that she’s too often found
G7
C
Is not enough to satisfy her needs
Am
F
Em
D7
