Transcribed from his very beautiful "Unplugged" version on YouTube, which may or
may not differ slightly from the album version, but we'll see!
A little sketchy in the bridge, but A6 is the closest I could get - I play it like this:

== Verse 1 ==
F#m A E Bm
Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain?
F#m A E Bm
Like the liquor in the bottle, we watched you slip away.
F#m A E Bm
And I feel as if I know you through the bars of a song.
F#m A E
Always surrounded but alone.
D A E F#m
But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
D A E F#m
We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
D A E F#m
And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
D A E
Was it so hard to breathe?
F#m A E Bm
Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognise?
F#m A E Bm
Did the make up never make up for the pain behind your eyes?
F#m A E Bm
Cos I feel as if I know when you're on my silver screen
F#m A E
But I don't know the dark places that you've been.
D A E F#m
But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
D A E F#m
We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
D A E F#m
And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
D A E
Was it so hard to breathe?
D A6
Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight,
F#m Esus4 - E
To fill the silence left behind?
D A6
And I don't know what goes on in your mind
F#m Esus4 - E
I'm sure it's enough to make me cry.
D A6 E
Someday we'll find you lived fore - ver.
D A E F#m
But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America.
D A E F#m
We watched you fly, but nothing's free Miss America.
D A E F#m
And as you fall apart, we just call it art.
D A E
Was it so hard to breathe?
