Verse 1
[BbMaj7]Annie, I hope things line [Gm]up for [Ebadd9]you
[BbMaj7]All in a row, [Gm]shiny and [Ebadd9]new
[BbMaj7]You can't keep on living in [Gm]one small [Ebadd9]room
[Dm]When you never let anyone [Eb]in
[Dm]You never let anyone [Eb]in
[BbMaj7]And Annie, you think the whole [Gm]world's been [Ebadd9]cruel
[BbMaj7]All the stars took [Gm]advantage of [Ebadd9]you
[BbMaj7]Your mother was cold and your [Gm]daddy'd no[Ebadd9] love
[Dm]So you stomped your feet till they [Eb]noticed
[Dm]You stomped your feet till they [Eb]put on the kid gloves
Chorus
[Gmadd9]Now they're walking on [Cmadd9]eggshells, they're walking on glass
[Gmadd9]Sing hallelujah each [Cmadd9]time that you pass
[Abadd9]And someday you'll pick yourself[Cmadd9] up off your ass and go[Eb]
Verse 2
[BbMaj7]And Annie you think the [Gm]boys never played [Ebadd9]fair
[BbMaj7]Tripping you up, sticking [Gm]gum in your [Ebadd9]hair
[BbMaj7]Wherever you run, it's [Gm]yourself you face [Ebadd9]there
[Dm]And he might be gone when you [Eb]need him
[Dm]And he might be long gone when [Eb]you find you care
Chorus
[Gmadd9]'Cause he's walking on eggshells, [Cmadd9]he's walking on glass
[Gmadd9]He sings you a lullaby[Cmadd9] each time you ask
[Abadd9]And someday you'll pick yourself[Cmadd9] up off your ass and go[Eb]
Verse 3
[BbMaj7]And Annie, I love you, that's [Gm]always been [Ebadd9]clear
[BbMaj7]It's the layers of history that [Gm]won't let us [Ebadd9]hear
[BbMaj7]The twisted compassion that's[Gm] burning our [Ebadd9]ears
[Dm]The distance from [Eb]there to here
[Dm]The distance from [Eb]there to here
Chorus
[Gmadd9]'Cause I'm walking on eggshells,[Cmadd9] I'm walking on glass
[Gmadd9]We sing you a lullaby [Cmadd9]each time you ask
[Abadd9]And someday you'll pick yourself[Cmadd9] up off your ass and go[Eb]
[Gmadd9]'Cause you're gambling again and [Cmadd9]the stakes are too high
[Gmadd9]Your ante is fear [Cmadd9]and my bet is desire
[Abadd9]Took you far from the [Cmadd9]truth and into the fire [Eb]again
Verse 4
[BbMaj7]And Annie, I hope things [Gm]line up for [Ebadd9]you
[BbMaj7]All in a row, [Gm]shiny and [Ebadd9]new
[BbMaj7]You can't keep on living in [Gm]one small [Ebadd9]room
[Dm]When you never let anyone [Eb]in
Outro
[Dm]You never let anyone [Eb]in
[Dm]you never let anyone [Eb]in
[Dm]You never let anyone [Eb]in
