She would never say where she came from

Yesterday don't matter if it's gone 
 -4   -4  -5  -5   -3    -3 -4 -4  -5  <4   -3
While the sun is bright  Or in the darkest night

No one knows   She comes and goes

Goodbye Ruby- Tuesday, who could hang a name on you-? 
<-6  <-6   6     6   -5 -5 -5  -5
When you change with ev'ry new day 
  6    6  6 <-6  7   -5
Still I'm gonna miss you

Don't question why she needs to be so free 
  -4    -4  -4   -3  -5  3  3  2 <-2 -3
She'll tell you it's the only way to be 
-4   -4   -5   -5   -3     -3 -4 -4   -5    <4  -3     -3
She just can't be chained  to a Life where nothing's gained 
 2   3   3     3     -1  2  <-2 -3
and nothing's lost   at such a cost

"There's no time to lose" I heard her say 
 -4    -4    -4   -3  -5  3    2   <-2 -3
Catch your dreams before they slip away-- 
-4 -4 -5  -5   -3     -3   -4    -5   <4  -3
Dying all the time   Lose your dreams and you 
 2    3    3    3     -1    2   <-2 -3
will lose your mind  Ain't life unkind?
