Intro
E - C#m - A - B- E*

Verse
         E
On the porch she will sit
       C#m
Light another cigarette
            A         B                    E*
And take a sip of anything that makes it right
          E                            C#m
She’s outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,
           A           B                  E*
Where her mom and her dad destroy each other
             E
And on the phone she will call
       C#m
Every boy, yeah, one and all
            A           B               E*
They will touch her in all the right places
             E
And in her room, she will slide
         C#m
Down the bed and try to fly,
              A          B               E*
And she will fall once again for the feeling
        

            A             C#m
And as he grabs her brown hair,
         E
She is faking
           A        C#m           E
That the feeling he gives her is real
        A         C#m
As the floor underneath the bed is
 E   B      A
Breaking in two
           A               B                  E
She will finish what she starts with “I love you”


              E
So from her head to her toes,
         C#m
Nervous hands and runny nose,
        A             B               E*
All of this just for one night of feeling
             E
And in her ears she will hear
         C#m
All the things that hide her fears
           A                B              E*
Of dying young and making plans for the future
              E 
And all the marks on her arms
      C#m
Symbolize a fractured heart
             A               B
And all the boys that were smart
            E*
Left her alone
              E
So from the roof, she will fly
   C#m
15 feet down the side
         A              B          E*
Of the house where she once was happy
  
        A           C#m
Yes is true, she’s aware
               E
That she is breaking
         A            C#m       E
And its true, she cant do anything
             A        C#m
Well in her blue underwear
        E   B   A
She is thinking how
     A               B
In jesus’ precious name
         E
She got here
           A          C#m
Well it’s sad but its true
          E
She is ending
         A            C#m             E
But for now, she will pray for some wings
       A       C#m          E  B    A
On a black Cadillac she is landing hard
           A               B           E
Yet her parents’ biggest worry is the car


There you go.
