Title:
“Crystal Tears”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am C G
She walks on, like a midnight sun,
Dm Am
Her eyes like crystal tears.
Am C G
Underneath the neon lights,
Dm Am
She hides her secret fears.

(Chorus)
F C G
Guilty Queen, in her high heeled dreams,
Am Dm F
Running wild, in the city night.
F C G
Guilty Queen, nothing’s what it seems,
Am Dm F
In the shadows of the pale moonlight.

(Verse 2)
Am C G
Through the smoke, and the bustling crowd,
Dm Am
She’s dancing with her fears.
Am C G
In the heart of the city’s roar,
Dm Am
She’s drowned out the jeers.

(Chorus)
F C G
Guilty Queen, in her high heeled dreams,
Am Dm F
Running wild, in the city night.
F C G
Guilty Queen, nothing’s what it seems,
Am Dm F
In the shadows of the pale moonlight.
