Yesterday, remember how clear it seemed

in six-inch heels quoting magazines

Go all the way, you knew you could
Dm7 Fm/D G
So far, so good
[Verse 2]
Em Dm7
Someone asked: Who do you think you are?
Em Dm7
Who pays your bills? How come you came this far?
Ebmaj7 Dbmaj7
Shrugged him off and locked the door
Dm7 Fm/D G G/B
So good, this far

Now it almost seems impossible

We’ve drunk too much and woke up everyone

I may be wrong, I thought we said
Bb F Fsus4 F Dm C
it couldn’t happen here
[Verse 3]
Em Dm7
I don’t expect to talk in terms of sense

our dignity and injured innocence

still healed so far
