Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos on 22 August 1963) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter.  Having already begun composing instrumental pieces on piano, Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, the youngest person ever to have been admitted, at age five. She was expelled at age eleven for, in her own words, insisting on playing by ear and because of her interest in popular rock music.  

Myra Ellen Amos (appelée Myra Ellen) est la fille du Dr. Rev. Edison et de Mary Ellen Amos. Elle est née le 22 août 1963 à l'hôpital Old Catawba à Newton (Caroline du Nord) lors d'un voyage de ses parents depuis leur maison à Georgetown jusqu'à la Caroline du Nord. Lorsqu'elle eut 2 ans et demi, sa famille déménagea à Baltimore dans le Maryland où elle commença à jouer du piano ; elle allait à l'église de son père chaque semaine. 

Tori Amos (* 22. August 1963 als Myra Ellen Amos in Newton, North Carolina) ist eine US-amerikanische Sängerin und Musikerin.  Sie verwendet als eine der wenigen populären Musiker ein Klavier als Hauptinstrument. Bekanntheit erlangte sie seit den frühen 1990er Jahren vor allem durch ihre lyrischen und gefühlsbetonten Texte. Inhaltlich variabel, deckt sie gerne Themen wie Sexualität, Religion, Patriarchat und persönliche Schicksalsschläge ab.

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

And in your eyes you’re holding mine

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

             F                    C                G

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

Right off of our faces
                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
