So who was first
A Bm7
Obviously not me
A Bm7
She's locked up in - side herself
A Bm7
And I can't get anything free
A Bm7
So won't somebody tell me please
E Bm7 A
Why the former owner al - ways keeps the keys
Bm7
There's no bubbles to burst
A Bm7
No bursting out crying nor dying of thirst
A Bm7
She's utterly tied to somebody else
A Bm7
And it seems he got there first
A Bm7
And no, I'm not un - tying
A Bm7
The reins around her neck that she feels
A Bm7
And I won't try to prise out of her the truth anymore
A Bm7
When she lies about the things that she sees
E Bm7 Bm6
Because the former owner al - ways keeps the keys

And when we hear trees falling
Bm7
Or see people disappearing

Her e - motions won't be reached or re - leased

Bm7
he'd never let you go
A Bm7
When he's left you used-up and dis - turbed
A Bm7
And I said Just as the early bird catches the worm
A Bm7
The early cat catches the bird
E Bm7 A Bm7 -
But that former owner is keeping his word
