High[G] flying, adored, [Bm] so young, the[C] instant queen[D7]
a rich[G] beautiful thing, [Bm] of all the talents a [C] cross between [D7] a
[F] fantasy of the bedroom [C] and a saint[D7]
And[Am] you were just a back street [C] girl,
[D] hustling and fighting, scratching and[C] biting.
[G] High flying, adored, [Bm] did you believe[C] in your wildest moments[D7] ,
[G] all this would be yours, [Bm] that you`d become the lady[C] of them all[D7] [G] ?
[F] Were there stars in[D7] your eyes when you crawled in at [G] night,
[F] from the bars, from [D7] the sidewalks, from the gutter [Bm] theatrical[Em] [Bm] [Em] ?
