[Verse]
    Em               G            D                 A
Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain
         Em            G         D                A
Like the liquor in the bottle we watched you slip away
      Em           G                    D         A
And i feel as if i know you through the bars of a song
Em     G              D
Always surrounded but alone
 
[Chorus]
C          G    D               Em
But no goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
C              G   D            Em
We watched you fly but nothings free, Miss America
C          G           D       Em
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
C         G       D
Was it so hard to breathe
[Verse]
        Em             G             D             A
Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognized 
        Em            G               D                A
Did the make-up never make up for the pain behind your eyes
Em                   G                  D            A
Cause i feel as if i know you when your on my silver screen
      Em                  G                  D
But i don't know the dark places that you've been
[Chorus]
 C          G    D               Em
But no goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
C              G   D            Em
We watched you fly but nothings free, Miss America
C          G           D       Em
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
C         G       D
Was it so hard to breathe
[Verse]
C                                  G
Does another voice sing in heavens choir tonight
Em                       D
to fill the silence left behind
C                             G
And i don't know what goes on in your mind
Em                                 D
But i'm sure its enough to make me cry
              C                Em      D
Someday we'll find you'll live fore----ver
[Chorus]
C          G    D               Em
But no goodbyes you'll always be Miss America
C              G   D            Em
We watched you fly but nothings free, Miss America
C          G           D       Em
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
C         G       D
