[Verse 1]
Bm
Caroline knows how fragile we are
With hope as our faith
We look to the stars
Em
Caroline's monkey is crying again
There's no satisfaction
Bm
On Caroline's train
[Verse 2]
Bm
Caroline leaks through holes in her skin
Her promise of sweetness
Forgiveness and everything
Em
Caroline's monkey coos in her ear
Drives like a demon
Bm
Through Caroline's tears
[Verse 3]
Bm
Caroline feels the ice in her veins
The minutes and hours
The naming of days
Em
Caroline said her dreams never end
For Caroline's monkey
Bm
And Caroline's friends
[Refrain]
Bm F#m
Fading's better than failing
Bm F#m
Falling's better than feeling
G F#m
Folding's better than losing
G F#m
Fixing's better than healing
Em G Bm
Sometimes
[Verse 4]
Bm
Caroline's monkey claws at her back
Colder than winter
Darker than black
Em
Caroline's monkey is hungry again
Running with scissors
Bm
On needles and pins
[Verse 5]
Bm
Caroline's monkey lives where she lays
Sleeps like a thief
And steals through the days
Em
Caroline's monkey makes up all the fun
Leaves chaos and ruin
Bm
On Caroline's tongue
[Verse 6]
Bm
Caroline knows how fragile we are
With hope as our faith
We look to the stars
Em
Caroline's monkey is crying again
There's no satisfaction
Bm
On Caroline's train
[Refrain]
