[Verse 5]:
             
She takes me d

              
own to the bas

         
ement to look 

       
at her slides
             
Of her family 

         
life, pretty w

        
eird at times
             
At the age of 

         
ten she looked

              
 like Greta Ga

                     
rbo

Up eight fligh

              
ts of stairs t

         
o her basement

 
 flat
             
Pretty confuse

         
d huh, being s

              
hipped around 

     
like that
             
Seems we climb

            
ed so high, no

           
w we're down s

  
o low
              
Strikes me the

             
 moral of this

              
 song must be 

        
there never ha

       
s been one!
