So your grandmother sounds to me

A woman I would be proud to be

And you say she reminds you of me

Every little boy is so naive


C               Am        Em       
I will not be a victim of romance
Am                     B
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Am                        F        B      G
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
B         Am                   Em            Am  C  F
Who could get his dirty little hands on me

So your grandfather sounds like me
F                          C
Head up shoulders back and proud to be

I was an eagle
F              C
And you were a dove


F            C
Today I will feel something other than regret
F         C
Pass me a glass and half-smoked cigarette
F                     C
I've damn near got no dignity left

And I rose above you and preyed
