Intro: B E

Verse 1:
B                   E
Pushed head first into the world
B                                                          E
Just to be thrown in the street when you're dressed like a girl
   Eb               E Abm Gb   E
An angel in the snow, accident prone
    B                         E
You left your suitcase by the bed
         B                                        E
Like you needed to know you could go whenever you wanted
    Eb                E
And I'm out on my feet

Verse 2:
    Abm        Gb
But I am still standing
E                                      B
 At the top of the stairs, turning red
          Gb         Abm
Pound for pound in a prom dress
E           B             Gb
 You try to make me afraid
Abm
We were both shining
E                             Abm
 Feeling indifferent, wearing black
            Gb   B        E
Sometimes I want you back
E    B     Gb
 But not today

Post-chorus:
B Ebm E Abm Gb
(Ooh)

Interlude:
   E Abm Gb
   E

Verse 2:
  B
I found her bleeding over the sink
    Gb
But when you said, "Sorry"
                E
You were looking at me
          Eb                E
I can't remember what I said
    Abm      Gb
But I didn't mean it

Chorus:
E
 I wasn't too young to understand
B              Gb           Abm
 I just didn't think it was so bad
E       B            Gb
 And it wasn't, in a way
    Abm          Gb
And now there is nothing
E                                Abm
 Your back to the ocean, burning red
         Ebm
I can't imagine you dead
E                  Gb
 But you are every day
Abm           Gb
Thank you for everything

Chorus:
(nc)
(Ooh)

(Ooh)
(nc)
(Ah-ah-ah)
(nc)
(Mm, mm)
