D Dsus/2F         Bm11
I call you Sister Carrie, but I never say it
Em7    G6         D
       Muted to a whisper
Em7    G6           D
       ? your solar sister
Em7    G6               D
       A magnet will deliver
Em7    G6                 D
       An arrow from the quiver


D Dsus/2F         Bm11
I call you Sister Carrie, but you'll never hear it
Em7     G6              D
        Fifteen minutes later
Em7     G6                     D
        As time falls down her ?
Em7     G6              D
        Nibbles off the ?
Em7       G6           D
        Roll under the ?


D
I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story
G/E                       E
Knowing I'll soon be left behind
But you ?, ? jeans, ?
	Bm
I was the ? one


    D    Dsus/2F         Bm11
And I'll call you sister carrie, I won't be the worst
Em7     G6                 D
        Frosting on the beater
Em7     G6                 D
        ? drops down the leader
Em7     G6                      D
        Thought you could delete her
Em7     G6                   D
        Lucky you could meet her


D                                    G/E
I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story

But you ?, ? jeans, ?
          Bm
I was the ? boy


{SOLO}


D                               G/E

Out of the pages of your mind
And magnets will deliver
? from solar sister

But you can't read, Carrie reads, Carrie reads, Carrie reads, reads...

Dsus9 D5/F           D5/F#
I'll call you sister Carrie but I'll never say it
Em7               G6     D
     Mute it to a whisper
Em7                      G6     D
     And spin your solar sister
Em7                    G6     D
     And magnet will deliver
Em7                    G6     D
     An arrow from her quiver

I'll call you sister carrie but you'll never hear it
     Fifty limits later
     As time pulls down her fader
     And nibbles off the fakers
     Who roll under the breakers

D
I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story
G6                           E5
Knowning I'll soon be left behind
             Bm                 F#
So won't you read sister carrie jean sister carrie
G          E7
Always the patient one

I'll call you sister carrie I won't breathe a word
     The frosting on the beater
     The flag trips down the meter
     You thought you could defeat her
     You're lucky you could meet her

I'll close my eyes and listen to you read the story
But I'm already far behind
So won't you read sister carrie jean sister carrie
Always the patient one

D
I'll close my life and let you teach me a new story
G6                       E5
Out of the pages of your mind
Em7                    G6     D
     And magnet will deliver
Em7                     G6     D
     So, spin, my solar sister

And you can read, sister carrie, read...
