[Intro] G9  F9  Bb6  C9

[First Part]

C                       F9                   C
   She nursed him there,  ooh, over a night
                       F9
I wasnt so sure she wanted him to stay
                         C
What to say...what to say
                        F9
But soon she was down, soon he was low
        C                F9
At a quarter past...a holy no

She had to turn around

[Chorus]

G9  F9          Bb6     C9
    When she couldn't hooold
            G9       F9               Bb6  C9
Oh - she folded        A dissident is here
G9         F9          Bb6   C9
Escape is never, the safest path
    G9             F9            Bb6    C9
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is heeeere

[Second Part]

C                       F9
   And to this day, she's glided on
                    C
Always home but so far away
       F9
Like a word misplaced
                      C
Nothing said, what a waste
                     F9
When she had contact...with the conflict
             C                                   F9
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state

She had to turn around

[Chorus]

G9  F9          Bb6     C9
    When she couldn't hooold
          G9   F9               Bb6   C9
Oh she folded     A dissident is here
G9         F9          Bb6   C9
Escape is never, the safest path
    G9             F9            Bb6    C9
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is heeeere

( G  Bb  C7M )

[Chorus]

    G9      F9               Bb6     C9
She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no
     G9      F9               Bb6       C9
She folded,      a dissident is heeeere
G9        F9          Bb6     C9
Escape is never the safest place, oh
      G9          F9             Bb6      C9
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is heeeeeere
G9          F9            Bb6      C9
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hooold...no
     G9       F9                Bb6  C9
She folded,      a dissident is here
 G9        F9          Bb6  C9
Escape is never the safest place
     G9       F9        Bb6   C9
Oh, a dissident is here
