Verse 1
F              C                  Dm 
she is running a hundred miles an hour  
               A# 
in the wrong direction 
F 
she is trying  
C                     Dm 
but the canyon's ever widening 
                          A# 
in the depths of her cold heart 
       C            F           A# 
so she sets out on another misadventure just to find 
      C                 F 
she's another two years older and 
      A# 
she's three more steps behind 
 
Chorus
             F                      C 
does anybody hear her? can any body see? 
                Dm                           A# 
or does anybody even know she's going down today 
                         F 
under the shadows of our steeple 
                             C 
with all the lost and lonely people 
                  Dm                 A# 
searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me 
             F                     C 
does anybody hear her? can anybody see? 
 
Verse 2
F 
she is yearning 
C               Dm 
for shelter and affection 
                        A# 
that she never found at home 
F 
she is searching 
C                  Dm                          A# 
for a hero to ride in, to ride in and save the day 
C                      F 
and in walks her price charming  
       A# 
and he knows just what to say 
     C             F 
momentary lapse of reason 
        A# 
and she gives herself away

under the shadows of our steeple

with all the lost and lonely people 
                  Dm                 A# 
searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me 
             F                     C 
does anybody hear her? can anybody see? 
 
Bridge
Dm                                     A# 
if judgement looms under every steeple, if lofty glances from lofty people 
F                                 C 
can't see past her scarlet letter and we never even met her 
Dm                                     A# 
if judgement looms under every steeple, if lofty glances from lofty people

can't see past her scarlet letter and we never even met her
