D			 G
Julie was a lonely girl 
				   D
She said she was born that way
			   G 
She always felt that way
D			      G 
She left home at age sixteen 
					    D
Got a job what you're supposed to do 
			        G
That's what you've got to do 
D				     G
She fell in love and settled down 
		 D				    G
In a council place there on the edge of town 

D	      A	            G
She'd feel alone in a crowded room #
D	       A		   G
Cry when she heard a happy tune 

It would be nice to holiday 
Till they took her job away 
They just took her life away 
And doing nothing isn't fun 
When you've nothing from which to run 
Nowhere left to run 
She'd visit the social every day 
Every time be turned away 
Every time be turned away

She'd feel alone in a crowded room 
Cry when she heard a happy tune 

A hundred stairs to her new room 
Over glass and blackened spoons 
Children grow old so soon 
Past the kids who gather there 
Pain masked by narcotic stares 
But no one really cares 

Her dreams were cut up and bled dry 
A million voices in her cry 

A		     D	  G      A
Julie waits, her world is her window 
A	                D		 G	   A
And Julie hates, just what she doesn't know 
A			   D		 G	   A
And Julie hates, she hates the world below
A			   G			   D 
But Julie loves, she loves too much to know
