Trouble Doll

This is 'Trouble Doll', the 3rd track from Matthew Ryan's ??Regret Over The Wires?? album released in 2003. Standard tuning with capo 1. Intro: E, F#m, E, F#m Verse 1: E Trouble doll, you look so pretty when you??re sad F#m And the laughs that we had have turned to madness E Lovers come to call and you??re voice gets soft F#m In the painted glass behind your lashes A Though angels pray for you F#m Only the blues could save you Verse 2: E If only for a second in the shimmering light F#m When the night??s collapsed, but it don??t shatter or sting E It??s a porcelain song from marionette in a dangerous sway F#m As if under God??s own strings A Salvation watches over you F#m Redemption only borrows you (B) A little at a time in this world Chorus: F#m A E F#m Real gone, real gone girl. Verse 3: E Standin?? high above on that bridge in St. Charles F#m Tell the truth, love, whose death did you see? E All the art on the wall and the quiet down the hall F#m Send a sinking feeling to a different story A My lonesome prays for you F#m In hours when there??s only you Verse 4: E Well the ghost of a drink on the counter by the sink F#m Is smeared, warm and full of empty promises E It??s a well-worn poem where the words stick together But the meaning seems numb, F#m ??Til the morning washes A All down and over you F#m Heartache sure owes you (B) All the happiness in this world Chorus: F#m A E F#m Real gone, real gone girl. Outro: E (Repeated with F#m) Sha la la a little light
