Sidewalk Annie

She told you about it through a broken, bleeding windpipe

G-------------D-------------------------Em7

It shook your bones and made your life feel skintight

Now your coattails come undone

Your whisper's a scream now

Since you don't speak to anyone

The howlin' winds could never care what she liked

Rhythm and Blues or A Stranger in the Night

It tore up the trailer with the sounds of a howlin' wolf

The cellar was stone, even the garden was bulletproof

Sidewalk Annie

Now your coattails come undone

Your whisper's a scream now

Since you don't speak to anyone

Little girl in your white iceskates

We've seen your face walkin' around the old schoolgates

With a hand on your hip, and the other one on your head

You realized it wasn't gone, but lost instead

Sidewalk Annie

Now your coattails come undone

Your whisper's a scream now

Since you don't speak to anyone

Invested a nickel in the banks of a wishing well,

And blew out the candles and hoped for somethin' that she could

She could sell

Sidewalk Annie

Now your coattails come undone

Your whisper's a scream now

Since you don't speak to anyone
