Verse 1:
 Gbm               E
 Just an average girl She always wore a smile
           D                              A
 She was cheerful and happy for a short while
            Db                          D
 Now she's older, things are getting colder

 Life's not what she thought, she wishes someone had told her

Verse 2:
 Gbm                    E                Gbm
 She told you she was down, you let it slip by
            D
 So from then on she kept it on the inside
 A                 Db
 She told herself she was alright
               D                                           D   E
 But she was telling white lies Can't you tell? Look at her dull eyes

Verse 3:
   Gbm            E                         Gbm
 Tried to stop herself from crying almost every night
          D                                           A
 But she knew there was no chance of feeling alright
                              Db
summer came, all she wore was long sleeves
               D                                           D   E
'cause those cuts on her wrists were bleeding through you see

Verse 4:
Gbm                     E                   Gbm
She knew she was depressed, didn't want to admit it
                 D                           A
Didn't think she fit in, everyone seemed to miss it
                       Db               D
She carried on like a soldier with a battle wound,
                                 D E Gbm
Bleeding out from every cut her body consumed

Verse 5:
Gbm                     E                   Gbm
She had no friends at school, all alone she sat
                 D                           A
And if someone were to notice she would blame the cat
                       Db               D
But those cuts on her wrist they were no mistake,
                                 D E Gbm
But no one cared enough to save her from this self hate

Verse 6:
 Gbm               E
Things were going down never really up,
                 D                           A
And here she is now stuck in this stupid rut
                       Db               D
She knew exactly what she had to do next,
                                 D E Gbm
Just stand on the chair and tie the rope around her neck

Verse 7:
 Gbm               E
She wrote a letter with her hands shaking wild,
                 D                           A
"Look at me now are you proud of your precious child?"
                       Db               D
But she knew that her parents weren't the ones to blame,
                                 D E Gbm
It was the world that should bow down it's head in shame

Verse 8:
 Gbm               E
She stood up on the chair and looked out at the moon,
                 D                           A
Just don't think it'll all be over soon
                       Db               D
The chair fell down as she took her final breath,
                                 D E Gbm
It's all over all gone, now she's greeting death

Verse 9:
 Gbm               E
Her mum walks in, she falls down to the floor,
                 D                           A
And now nothing can take back what she just saw
                       Db               D
The little girl that she raised is just hanging there,
                                 D E Gbm
Her body's pale and her face is violently bare,

Verse 10:
 Gbm               E
She sees the note and unfolds it with care,
                 D                           A
All she does is stare, "How can this be fair?"
                       Db               D
She starts reading as the tears roll down her face,
                                 D E Gbm
"I'm sorry Mum, but this world is just not my place,

Verse 11:
 Gbm               E
I've tried for so long to fix this and fit in,
                 D                           A
I've come to realise this world's full of sin,
                       Db               D
There's nothing for me here, I'm just a waste of space,
                                 D E Gbm
I've got no reason to stay here with this awful race,

Verse 12:
 Gbm               E
It's a disgrace, I was misplaced,
                 D                           A
Born in the wrong time and in the wrong place,
                       Db               D
It's ok though, 'cause you'll see me soon,
                                 D E Gbm
You'll know when your time has come, just look at the moon,

Verse 13:
 Gbm               E
As it shines bright, throughout the night,
                 D                           A
And remember everyone's facing their own fights,
                       Db               D
But i can't deal with this pain, I'm not a fighter,
                                 D E Gbm
You'll make it through the night, just hug your pillow tighter

Verse 14:
 Gbm               E
So let the world know that I died in vain,
                 D                           A
Because the world around me is the one to blame,
                       Db               D
And I know in a year you'll forget I'm gone,
                                 D E Gbm
'Cause I'm not really something to be dwelled on,

Verse 15:
 Gbm               E
That's what they used to tell me, all those kids at school,
                 D                           A
So I'm going by the law majority rules,
                       Db               D
My presence on this earth is not needed any longer,
                                 D E Gbm
And if anything I hope this makes you stronger,

Verse 16:
 Gbm               E
You're the best friend that I ever had,
                 D                           A
Such a shame I had to make you so very sad,
                       Db               D
Just remember that you meant everything to me,
                                 D E Gbm
And to my heart, you're the only one that held the key,

Verse 17:
 Gbm               E
Now it's time to go I'm running out of space to write,
                 D                           A
And yes I lost my fight, but please just hold on tight
                       Db               D
I'm watching over you from the clouds above,
                                 D E Gbm
And sending down the purest and whitest dove,

Outro:
 Gbm               E
To watch over you and be my helpful eye,
                 D            A
So this is it world...Goodbye!"
Db  D            D E Gbm E   Gbm D   A Db D
