TV Girl - Death Of A Party Girl

Excerpt from "Crime Classics":
N.C.
"She was found wandering through the city clothed in night apparel.
She drank and raved over her broken hopes.
She was found groping through the dark through the holes of public buildings.
And one day, she was no longer young..."

Intro:
N.C.
"Sit here with me for a while, talk to me
N.C.                  F9
Where did you go when you went from me, long ago?
  G                  F9
You always go away! There is always the sound of you going away
G         F9    G        F9
Why do I come here? Remember, remember once. Remember once!"

Verse 1:
    G              F9
She was sexy she was sweet, running barefoot in the street
    G               F9
Sipping wine out of a flask, drinking vodka by the glass
     G             F9              G  F9
Yeah she used to knock 'em back, as fast as they would line them up

Verse 2:
   G              F9
Still sexy but she's sad, and the headache's coming on
   G                 F9
Only dancing out of habit, she doesn't recognize the song
      G              F9              G  F9
How can the nights be getting long, when time feels like it's speeding up

Verse 3:
   G           F9
She used to crush the pill right between her fingers
  G              F9
It used to kill the feeling but now the feeling lingers
    G             F9
And she did the drugs for fun, but now she does them just to stay up
G      F9
        Just to stay up
G      F9
        Just to stay up
G      F9
        Just to stay up
G      F9
        Just to stay up

Verse 4:
   G             F9
Incognito at the bar, she could tell he was a star
    G                 F9
By the way he wore his baseball cap slung low across his eyes
   G              F9          G   F9
While beauties live and die, these playboys stay forever young

Verse 5:
   G                F9
Which handsome stylish rake, puts his hands around her waist
    G              F9
As she stumbles up the stairs in a state of perfect grace?
      G               F9               G  F9
They would hold her just to hold her, but now it's 'cause she can't stand up

Verse 6:
   G             F9
Running for the pleasure, wearing down the flesh
   G             F9
And she has to go to sleep now, when she used to go to bed
   G               F9
Eyes closed because she felt it but now it's 'cause she can't wake up
G      F9
        She can't wake up
G      F9
        She can't wake up
G      F9
        She can't wake up
G      F9
        She can't wake up
G      F9
        She can't wake up
