Vanessa Dawn Rogers - Ballad Of Jane

      Ballad of Ivalee
By Vanessa Dawn Rogers


[Verse 1]
Em
I can only hope that I make it out alive
C
Of this hole that you're digging me in which I hide
Em
I can barely breathe for the waves of your sin
C                                            Em
That wash over me and all the pain within
Am
I cry


[Chorus]
C                                            Em
Somebody save me, tell me it'll be alright
C                                           Em
Somebody fix me, help me see the light


[Verse 2]
Em
When I look at you, I see a black hole
C
Coming to swallow me, and steal away my soul
Em
When I'm asleep and when I'm awake
C
I lock the door, but there's no escape
Am
Nowhere to go

[Chorus]
C                                            Em
Somebody save me, tell me it'll be alright
C                                           Em
Somebody fix me, help me see the light


[Break - progression x1]

[Verse 3]
Em
There's good and there's evil in this world we live in
C
But they can't live together, one always wins
Em
I believe in justice, and farther along
C
Here or hereafter, you'll sing my song
Am
And pay for your sins

[Chorus]
C                                            Em
You'll want someone to save you, tell you it'll be alright
C                                           Em
Someone fix you, help you see the light


[Break - progression x 2]

[Bridge]
Am                              Em
And no one will hear your cries
Am
They'll go unanswered
            Em
Just like mine

[C mod up to 3rd fret, then C7 (on 3), then back]

C                                         Em
But no one will save you, or tell you it'll be alright
C                                         Em
No one will fix you, or help you see the light
