| She runs through the streets with eyes painted red |
| G | |
| Under a black belly of clouds in the rain |
| D | |
| in through a doorway, she brings me |
| G | |
| white gold and pearls stolen from the sea |
| D | G | |
| she is | raging she is raging and | storm blows up in her eyes |
| A | |
| She will, |
| G | A | |
| suffer the | needle chill, |
| G | D | |
| She's running | to stand, | still. |
